Praise for the writing of Rosemary Aubert and for the previous novels in her Ellis Portal mystery series:
On “THE FEAST OF STEPHEN”
"Amazingly compelling....A strikingly original, moving mystery." —Lev Raphael, Detroit News and Free Press
"In an era where most mysteries are notable for their similarities rather than their differences. Rosemary Aubert has succeeded in crafting a series that is fresh and original. Her unusual milieu and unconventional protagonist combine with a complex plot to provide a novel both suspenseful and satisfying." —Robert Wade, San Diego Union-Tribune
"So richly written that it stands out in a genre often divided between stories with good characters and those with good plots....A true feast for the mind, spirit, and heart." —Booklist (American Library Association), starred review
On “FREE REIGN”
A "smart, suspenseful whodunit...[Ellis Portal is] a character with great dignity and unusual moral depth." —Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"Engrossing...well-drawn characters, supple prose and effectively delivered emotional surprises." —Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
Chosen as best mystery first novel of 1997. — Tom and Enid Schantz, mystery columnists, Denver Post
"Introduces a most unusual and winning protagonist." —Peter Handel, Sunday San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle
Rosemary Aubert is a professional criminologist and author whose mystery fiction is included in three anthologies and has won Canada’s Arthur Ellis Award for best crime story and best novel for The Feast of Stephen.
