Editorial Reviews

“Craft writes in a crisp, lively prose that highlights the quirks of his colorful cast of characters … The idyllic atmosphere of Dumont is a well-drawn setting, perfect for an exuberant murder mystery … Craft’s talents for characterization and intricate plotting make the novel an entertaining read with delightfully offbeat elements.” — Kirkus Reviews

“The new ‘Mister Puss’ mystery series opens with one of the most intriguing introductions seen in the mystery genre … Readers used to the usual progression of a murder mystery will find many exceptional twists in this story, from a feline character to a gay architect’s involvement in a case demanding skills that he fears he may not possess. FlabberGassed is quirky, original, and a delightful read.” — D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
