P.D. Workman liked Phthon's review of Mock Apple Alibi (Auntie Clem’s Bakery, #25): "Poor Erin! Everyone is disappearing with no evidence where they’ve gone. There are several layers of mysteries here but I had my suspicions fairly early on. Just couldn’t figure out why. I also figured out the one involving Willie. I loved this book."

“Without the ginger kitten, she would have been left with her own thoughts all night, worrying about what was going to happen at her police interview the next day. As it was, she seemed to fly from one kitten exploit to another. Was it any wonder that ‘catastrophe’ started with ‘cat’?”
― P.D. Workman, Gluten-Free Murder

“She knew that she should; it was the only way to integrate the nightmares with her logical daytime thoughts. The therapists she had seen in the past talked about exposing her fears to the light of day, desensitizing herself so that she could handle the feelings and work through them.”
― P.D. Workman, Santa Shortbread
