Twenty-Five Years Ago Today review
Thank you to Mary Lignor at Bookpleasures.com for this excellent review of Twenty-Five Years Ago Today. Here is an excerpt:
"This mystery is a heartrending tale about families and their relationships. Kris and Eric are searching for an end to all the heartbreak that their families have suffered. The scenes in the newsroom are fabulous and so true. The newsroom staff and their attitudes, trials, tribulations and challenges are as true today as they were twenty-five years ago. The machines are the only things that have changed. Each character has their own story that meshes with all the other characters. I guarantee to all mystery fans that once you pick this book up you will not put it down and will praise the author, who tells me that this is her first mystery novel. Keep up the good work, Stacy. The reading public needs good mystery writers."
