Praise for The Chocolate Kiss-Off (Persephone Cole Vintage Mysteries #3)

Dan Poynter's Global Silver Award Best Mystery Fiction 2016

"Persephone "Percy" Cole a female private investigator in 1940's Manhattan is investigating the murder of a chocolate shop owner found dead in a vat of chocolate. She has a personal interest in the case since her neighbor and son's godfather Howard Goldberg is accused of the murder. Percy's character is witty, compassionate and physically stronger than the average woman. The reader has no problem believing she can hold her own with some pretty unsavory characters. This was a fun read as well as a glimpse of how neighbor's of different ethnicities pulled together to support one another during a difficult period for the country---World War II."
