With each chapter my heart fell deeper in love with the story, the mystery, the history and the quotes. Strong relationships between the characters formed quickly and effortlessly.
-- A Cup Of Tea and A Cozy Mystery
Morgan C. Talbot took me on a journey, and wove it beautifully-the imagery was descriptive, the events were believable, and the drama was both super humorous and nail-bitingly chilling at the same time. Which...is a difficult feat to accomplish, so my hat's off to Morgan C. Talbot for making it happen and seem so easy!
-- Betwixt the Pages
Morgan C. Talbot's book, Smugglers & Scones (Moorehaven Mysteries: Book 1), can be described as the perfect mystery.
