Praise for Murder at the Galvez

“Has Kathleen Kaska created a new mystery subgenre — the hard-boiled cozy? I’m tempted to think so after reading this third book in her terrific Sydney Lockhart series. Newcomers and well as fans of the first two books will be charmed, delighted, amused, and generally bowled over by the latest installment. Kathleen Kaska knows how to pack a novel with laugh-out-loud humor without lessening the break-neck pace or the suspense. I couldn’t wait to get to the end . . . but I also didn’t want it to end! Fortunately, the next book in the series is already on deck.” – Dan Andriacco, author of the Sebastian McCabe – Jeff Cody Series.
