What Authors and Reviewers are saying about Lois Lavrisa’s Novels:

 

DYING FOR DINNER ROLLS
(Book One:  Chubby Chicks Club Cozy Mystery Series)

 

“Hold onto your hats for this humorous and quirky mystery which involves a group of friends of The Chubby Chicks club. Set in Savannah, Cat and her friends set out to solve a mystery to catch a killer, but as amateur sleuths find themselves way in over their heads pretty fast. This cast of Friends comes together in this quirky hard to put down mystery. Cat, Annie Mae, José. Can't wait to read the next of the Chubby Chicks Club mystery series.”

~Luvbooks, Amazon Reviewer

 

“I want more, please! Cat and Annie Mae are an entertaining pair in their quest to solve the murder of their friend. Their bumbling tactics prove to put them in danger, but their hearts are in the right place. I enjoyed collecting the clues right along with them. "Dying for Dinner Rolls" is a delightful read I recommend. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.”

~Ladyhawk, Amazon Reviewer

 

“This was a fun book to read because of the wacky characters and their escapades. I will be looking forward to the next book.”

~Cheryl K. Craig, Amazon Reviewer

 

 

MURDEROUS MUFFINS
(Book Two:  Chubby Chicks Club Cozy Mystery Series)

 

“I have a soft spot for a good cozy and here's an author who hits the spot dead on. Characters you just know you'd like if you met them... villains I didn't figure out on the third page... and bumbling amateur detectives that you are absolutely sure are headed for trouble. If you like cozies for those relaxing moments you cannot go wrong with Lois Lavrisa. Murder, mystery and all wrapped up in humor. I'm headed out to buy the two following this one. Enjoy!”

~J.R. Webberon, Amazon Reviewer

 

“A delicious cozy mystery covered in sugar or is it poison? …It's a crazy romp and a fun read. Lots of eccentric characters that make for a great distraction from every day life. Confusion reigns, and liars abound. You won't be able to put down….I highly recommend it for cozy lovers.”

~Sandy Penny, Amazon Reviewer

 

“This book was great. I actually was guessing right up to the end. I love the characters and it was nice learning more about them. I can't wait for the next one to come out. Great friendships too. The ending really left me wanting more in a good way.”

~ Gwen M. Reamer, Amazon Reviewer

 

HOMICIDE BY HAMLET
(Book Three:  Chubby Chicks Club Cozy Mystery Series)

 

"Smart, clever, and witty: Homicide by Hamlet is everything a cozy mystery should be. Fantastic!"

~ Dorothy St. James, Author of the White House Gardener Mysteries

 

"From beginning to end I rooted for Annie Mae. An enjoyable read."

~ Cindy Blackburn, bestselling author of the Cue Ball Mysteries

 

 

LIQUID LIES
(Mystery, Suspense, Thriller: NOVEL)

 

“Full of breathtaking twists and turns! Liquid Lies had me whipping through the pages, never quite sure whose number was up next. A great whodunit mystery laced with suspense.”

~ Ann Charles, Award-winning and Bestselling Author

 

“Lois Lavrisa delivers a fantastic book —five stars! I could not stop reading Liquid Lies once I started. So suspenseful wondering how much more CiCi could take. This is definitely a must read!”

~ Laura Fortin, Reviewer

 

“I really enjoyed this book. I thought I had the bad guy/gal figured out only to be proved wrong more than once! Kept me guessing until the end. I look forward to reading more from this author.”

~J. Anderson Avid Reader, Reviewer

 

“I loved the heroine of Liquid Lies. CiCi is sympathetic but flawed...a well rounded character. The plot was fast-paced and multi-layered with a mystery that’ll keep you guessing until the last page. A fantastic debut novel by an exciting new author. Bravo.”

~ Reading Cat Review

 

“I could not put this book down! Liquid Lies is a tightly woven mystery steeped full of quirky characters on an emotion-packed thrill ride. This is one story you’ll want to tell your friends about!”

~ Cynthia Cooke, Award Winning Author,
Luck and a Prayer

Acknowledgments

 

Any story starts with an idea and then grows from there. Along the way, many people helped and supported me as I turned my idea into a finished book. First and foremost, thanks go out to my husband Tom and our children: Sean, Melanie, Tiffany and Ryan.

 

To my many writer friends who reviewed, edited, critiqued drafts and gently nudged me along when I needed it—including but not limited to Lauren Lapointe, Victoria Logue, Ginger Michelle Collins McGee and Gail Byrd. Also, thank you to my editors Deborah Nemeth, Chrissy Szarek, Prateek Jain “PJ” and Sharyn Ellison. And to my fabulous and talented cover designer, Karen Phillips.

 

My biggest gratitude is extended to you, my readers.

Without you, my stories would never be given life.

Thank you!
