"A book you'll want all of your friends to read! Just when you settle into this light mystery, and let your guard down, The Big Grabowski sweeps you into a town of Oregon coastal dwellers, nearly all with motive to kill, who live on the other side of what you expect."
"When real estate developer Vince Grabowski is discovered dead amidst a huddle of sea lions, small town reporter Molly Donovan tells Sergeant Erdman that he won't have to make a list of suspects. Instead, he can copy the Devil's Harbor phone book. The Big Grabowski is a whirligig of exhilaration; the kind of book that reminds us of how much fun reading mysteries should be!"
DENISE DIETZ, Bestselling mystery author
"Devil's Harbor has more shady characters than trees in the town park, and Ms. Donovan's sleuth skills range from Poirot to Columbo to Monk in this laugh-out-lou mystery with a motley band of characters and unsinkable charm!"
DAVE ANDERSON and MARK MASON, "The Mark and Dave Show" KEX Radio 1190 Portland, OR
"Who grabbed the Big Grabowski, the greatest land-Grabber of them all and slung him into the Pacific ocean? The Oregon coast has found its Agatha Christie. Read, laugh, and enjoy!"
