Several bloggers reviewed the book!

The mystery was unique and so well done. Her psychometrygives her clues, but not enough to know what exactly is going on. I love howshe slowly investigates, how she slowly begins to trust, and how she graduallystarts to accept her gift. Plenty of suspicious characters and red herringskeep readers on their toes.

“Theauthor’s writing is easy to read, and I was so engaged with the story that Iread it from start to finish one evening... I recommend A STONE COLD MURDER tocozy mystery readers, especially those interested in psychic elements, museumsettings, rocks, and minerals.”  ~Boys' Mom Reads

“The author did a wonderful job explaining Petra’s gift andincluded ways it shook up her life. I became invested in her life easily. Herinner dialogues touched my heart… Ms. Bock has surrounded Petra with awell-crafted, quirky cast of characters…

“Ms. Bock penned a complex mystery with many layers. WithPetra taking over not only the deceased’s office but his rental home as well,she is immersed in the mystery of his death. She knows there is more to hisstory, but can she find the truth? I appreciated the pace that was set for thisstory. Time was allowed to introduce the characters while Petra debated how tomove forward. This draws readers in, then the twists start to happen. A wantedman, an important object or two in the museum, a crazy filing system, anunexpected visitor, a new friend with a gift of their own, all come together asPetra follows clue after clue and learns something surprising about her gift.This culminates in an exciting chase and takedown that will have readers on theedge of their seats.

Kris Bock at the Mineral Museum“A Stone Cold Murder is an excellent start for this series. Petra Cloch is a character that will stick with you. The author’s detailed depictions will put you right on the scene of everything that happens. Petra has come a long way within these pages, but the progress is still new. I am excited to see her journey continue. Death at Rock Bottom will be released on July 30. I have saved a spot on my calendar.”  ~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book
