Good mystery...,
By
This review is from: Death in the Cards: A Stain-Busting Mystery (Toadfern Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
In Paradise, Ohio, Josie Toadfern is a laundromat owner and the local stain removal expert. This time, instead of a bake competition piling up bodies, it is a psychic fair. Josie has rented out the second apartment over her laundromat to a couple that owns the New Age bookshop and Tarot Card reading room in town. The Paradise Psychic Fair is coming up and soothsayers seem to be everywhere. One even tells Josie that danger approaches. Major tension fills the air as the more conservative town residents go head-to-head with the New Age groups. Then, you guessed it, Josie literally stumbles across a body. **** If you enjoyed "Death By Deep Dish Pie" then you will love this one as well. This mystery is a bit easier to figure out than Sharon Short's last, but readers will still find it challenging. Very good reading here. **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Good Clean Fun,
By Heather Webber - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Death in the Cards: A Stain-Busting Mystery (Toadfern Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
A psychic fair, a corn maze, a murder AND stain tips...another great read from Sharon Short! Josie's finally coming into her own, her friends are a hoot, and I can't wait to see what happens with Owen. Looking forward to Sharon's next book!

Good pacing but too sketchy,
By S. M. Tucker "str8stuf, ravenous reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Death in the Cards: A Stain-Busting Mystery (Toadfern Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
The plot line wasn't bad and the pace was very good but the writing was disappointing. The repartee wasn't remotely scintillating and the remainder of the language had little or no spark. There wasn't enough character development though I must admit I believe that was because the author had to keep within a word limit on the writing. Josie, the main character, has interesting and colorful friends and the situation she has with her significant other is intriguing. I imagine the second book in the series will be better. If it isn't I won't buy the third but this author deserves two chances.
