Books to Read & Enjoy by Helen Hollick

* * *
Jan Christopher Cosy Mysteries
#1 A MIRROR MURDER
#2 A MYSTERY OF MURDER

“I sank into this gentle cosy mystery story with the same enthusiasm and relish as I approach a hot bubble bath, (in fact this would be a great book to relax in the bath with!) and really enjoyed getting to know the central character, a shy young librarian, and the young police officer who becomes her romantic interest. The nostalgic setting of the 1970s was balm, so clearly evoked, and although there is a murder at the heart of the story, it was an enjoyable comfort read.”
Debbie Young, author of the Sophie Sayers cosy mysteries



New edition with additional scenes! 
Now also in PAPERBACKWhen The Mermaid Sings A prequel short-read story to the Sea Witch Voyages of Captain Jesamiah Acorne. (also on Kindle Unlimited)
