"BRAVO! Clever and funny, rock-solid characterisation."

-Sean Fraser

"A fun new cosy crime novel, Making a killing is a lovely, easy read, set in a small village in SA."

– Good Book Appreciation Society

"An easy read. A compelling read. But it took me in a completely opposite direction to what I even vaguely expected. Which is good, we like surprising books."

– @musingsofasouthafricanbookworm

"I'm halfway, really enjoying the read. It's such an entertaining romp, and Sylvie is a truly delucious character. Very well done👏🏻
