A GREAT cozy mystery without the cute!
Madison Boone is keen to buy a fabulous stone cottage in the country, and she nixes her budding relationship with Coleman Welles to do it. But once the renovation begins, the property’s long-buried secret threatens to derail everything. Can her friends help solve the mystery?
Mark of the Loon – the first of the series – is the skillful combination of … of the series – is the skillful combination of history, mystery, and romance in a novel that explores choices, taking risks, dealing with loss, deep, satisfying, unconditional friendships – and introduces Genevieve Delacourt as an impressive amateur sleuth!
What Amazon readers are saying:
Molly Greene’s stunning debut novel, Mark of the Loon, is a glorious read, with brilliant descriptions and pitch-perfect characterization. I loved spending time with the four smart, wise, fun-loving women at the center of this novel. As I read, their gorgeously developed friendship made me wish I could climb into their world and join them. With Mark of the Loon, Molly Greene has established herself as a remarkable new voice in contemporary fiction. ~ Terri Giuliano Long, Author of the bestselling novel, In Leah’s Wake
”From the time that Mallory Blackburne hears “the thunderous boom of metal striking wood…” this mystery captures the reader. Romance and mystery without the need for graphic sex or graphic violence; just a great read!”
”…a mystery that doesn’t devolve around murder, peopled by smart women who are figuring out things for themselves, who have personal issues that don’t center on whether they’re overweight or pretty or…whatever. The main characters are all fleshed out and real, with real people problems. And well edited to boot!”
”Molly Greene has a gift which spins a tale that keeps you in the dark until the dawn slowly rises and reveals a landscape of unexpected proportions. Ms. Greene is very good at defining characters via their actions and dialogue. The dialogue is so well crafted the reader feels they are sitting in an armchair or at the table with those in discussion instead of reading words on a page.”

Good story line. Not quite predictable
A little bit different and a good read.
Interesting but predictable.
Easy reading , but found the mystery hard to follow and confusing …the characters were interesting and enjoyable .
It kept my interest through the entire book and started out good, not so slow as some books do.
A great read. Makes you want more
The plot was OK but it was slow. Some parts could use better transition from one scene to another.
A good mystery that didn’t give it away too quickly.
I loved the friendships of the women and the house with the dog and cat. The mystery and romance was well done and kept my interest. The main characters were real and showed depth, the villain(s) were not too deep and written with little redeeming features. There were many twists and turns and I’m jealous of the garden and lake views! I enjoyed …
