5-star release day review for DRAMA MUSCLE, the second Nicky and Noah mystery

“Book 1, Drama Queen was always going to be a hard act to follow with its belly ache laughter approach but in this “smirkathong” – yes I was smirking throughout the book, my top lip still aches – the author succeeded in delivering another comic classic!” Thank you Lorraine Lesar of Three Books over the Rainbow for another 5-star review. Happy Release Day to DRAMA MUSCLE, the second Nicky and Noah mystery! https://threebooksovertherainbow.word...
