Review Quotes

"An intriguing plot, a tough-minded heroine, and a satisfying ending make this an entertaining read"-- "Booklist"

"Veronica Heley has a unique - and beloved - voice in the world of British cosy mysteries, as well as Christian cosy mysteries, because she manages to blend the two without blemish to the other. Once again, her gift is apparent in False Wall . . . For what it's worth, I have yet to read a book written by Veronica Heley that I did not absolutely love".--C Sawada, reviewer

"Indomitable Bea barely wilts in the face of adversity and even finds time to give the police a hand"-- "Kirkus Reviews"
