“Joe Cosentino has a unique and fabulous gift. His writing is flawless, and his use of farce, along with his convoluted plot-lines, will have you guessing until the very last page, which makes his books a joy to read. His books are worth their weight in gold, and if you haven't discovered them yet you are in for a rare treat. Drama Luau joins his other books on my 5-star reread shelf. It may actually be my favourite one yet! Highly recommended.” --Divine Magazine

New Review
“Cosentino manages to keep the reader breathlessly anticipating the killer's identity, and this particular culprit is arguably the most shocking of the entire series. With summer on the horizon, Drama Pan is a quintessential beach read, as well as a cozy mystery and tantalizing thriller.” Thank you Christopher Verleger of Edge Media Network for the lovely review of Drama Pan, the 12th Nicky and Noah mystery novel!
