Huzzah! Dear Readers, I am so excited to share some good news that’s come
our way. *Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries Book 3, **Cold-Blooded Myrtle, *has
been named to two (2!) Very Exciting Lists!
First up, the *Wall Street Journal* featured *Cold-Blooded Myrtle* in their *annual
holiday gift guide*:
*“Younger Holmes fans (and older ones too) should be charmed by Elizabeth
C. Bunce’s “Cold-Blooded Myrtle,” the latest entry in her series featuring
12-year-old amateur sleuth Myrtle Hardcastle. In 1893, Myrtle receives a
double Christmastime shock: the death, in “The Final Problem,” of her
fictional idol Holmes, and the apparent murder of the proprietor of her
town’s mercantile store. Tidings of discomfort, indeed.” –The Wall Street
Journal*
And I’m thrilled to announce that *Kirkus Reviews* has named *Cold-Blooded
Myrtle* a *Best Book of 2021*! (Kirkus also gave *Cold-Blooded* a starred
review.) Myrtle and I are in some truly incredible company. Check out the
10 *Best Middle Grade selections here*. Egg nog all around!
Big thanks to *Kirkus* and the *Wall Street Journal* for these fantastic
honors!
