Praise for Larissa Reinhart’s Cherry Tucker Mysteries

HIJACK IN ABSTRACT

– J.J. Murphy,

Author of the Algonquin Round Table Mysteries

– Diane Vallere,

Author of the Style & Error and Mad for Mod Mystery Series

“Reinhart took me on a fun rollercoaster ride. Everyone is a suspect and just when you think you have things figured out, you’re forced to reevaluate your theory and modify your suspect list. I haven’t had this much fun trying to solve a mystery in a while and it sure beats playing a game of Clue any day! Four out of five stars.”
