Peace, Love and Murder
As a long time fan of mysteries, there are a few things that are important to me when I read one. First, I want original characters that I can care about who are also realistic and believable. I want a storyline that is keeps both the action and the suspense going. I don’t want to be distracted by needless details, but I also don’t want to know “whodunit” halfway through the book. I most certainly want to enjoy the journey. Peace, Love, and Murder 
The story elements are original and intriguing, combining hippies, communes, cab drivers and murder. This unlikely combination sets the stage for a delightful mystery. It is an enjoyable story with interesting characters that are neither stereotypic nor predictable. The storyline keeps both the action and the suspense going, and it held my interest all the way through.
Ms. Holzner writes with an exceptionally clear voice and in a style that is a delight to read. The main character’s background gives the novel an interesting twist. I found myself wanting to know more about these characters (especially Bo and Trudy), and am looking forward to the sequel.
