The Sigil Trilogy
If you're looking for an amazing, WOW! science fiction story, check out THE SIGIL TRILOGY. This is — literally — one of the best science fiction novels I've ever read.New Book from a Critter Member
**NOW IN PRINT EDITION TOO!** Awesome new book, HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SPECULATIVE FICTION OPENINGS, from a Critter member who's unearthed a shard of The Secret to becoming a pro writer.

Travel to Paris and the Basque country while puzzling through an exciting mystery novel.
Murder on the Seine was a great read and took me back to when I visited Paris.
Another entertaining who-dun-it from a globe-traveling writer. This one is set in Paris with humor, mystery, and foreign intrigue.
Lots of tension.!!
Great characters and character development, very compelling plot that kept me guessing right to the end, set/background descriptions made me feel like I was really in Paris, and the historical and political background subtly woven into the story were very informative. I love this author, all her books.
Her stories move right along.
Looking forward to reading another novel by Nancy Curteman. She so thoroughly researches her books' locations.
Clever writer!
Excellent mystery!
Fun,,relaxing read. Great descriptions of real settings.
Curteman combines unusual characters with intricate and unexpected plot development to lead readers down a rabbit hole of murky, almost dreamlike, occurances, each woven together masterfully to produce a 'who done it' as complex as rare French wine.
An Interesting book!
Love the author's character driven plots.
Nancy Curteman is a wonderful author. I have loved all of her books. I always look forward to her next story.
I've read all of the author's Lysi Weston mysteries and loved them all. This one set in Paris is really exceptional. Thanks
Great mystery
Very good twists and turns in this well written mystery novel.
