A Family Affair: A Death Warmed Over Mystery

"A Family Affair pulls readers into Destiny, Texas and sits them comfortably in Hannah's bookstore and new home, but stops just short of the bedroom with that hunk sheriff of hers the author so skillfully makes us drool over. Hannah is a lady we all can love with her passion for chocolate, love of all thinks literary, and a backside the size of the real world woman. Proving Texans have big hearts and personalities to match, Cindy Daniel lets us live in the Lone Star State for a little bit while feeding us a steady stream of antics, one-liners and attitudes woven throughout a mystery that seems to involve the whole darn town. Cindy Daniel deserves applause for this western odyssey you're sure to enjoy."
—C. Hope Clark, editor, Funds for Writers; author, The Shy Writer, An Introvert's Guide to Writing Success

"With Hannah's bookstore open and thriving, and her relationship with hunky Sheriff Will definitely heating up, what could possibly go wrong, you ask? How about having a friend confide that she thinks someone might be trying to harm her? And Hannah doesn't believe it, to her sorrow. Follow Hannah and Will as they turn an exciting new corner in their lives. You’ll love Daniel's latest in the Death Warmed Over Series."
—Lonnie Cruse, author of the Metropolis mystery series (Murder In Metropolis, Murder Beyond Metropolis)

"A Family Affair by Cindy Daniel is as Texas as the two-step and just as lively and fun. Plenty of puzzles and lots of love will delight readers."

"Colorful characters, frequent dollops of humor and delightfully cozy prose bring to life the inhabitants of small-town East Texas in this enchanting regional mystery. A Family Affair goes down as smoothly as an iced tea on a dusty Texas afternoon."
—Julia Spencer-Fleming, Agatha, Anthony and Macavity Award winner, Edgar finalist and author of Out of the Deep I Cry

Death Warmed Over

"Blood is thicker than water, but that doesn't mean siblings can't still drive one another crazy. The wonderful debut novel by Cindy Daniel, Death Warmed Over, is a genuine cross between Grafton's cunning logic and Evanovich's witty humor, with a generous dose of originality from Daniel. Funny and smart. The novel is entertaining and compelling. Daniel has a talent for making you care about the characters and a knack for crafting a well thought-out plot."
—Phillip Tomasso III, author of Adverse Impact and Johnny Blade

"What Janet Evanovich does for the Jersey burbs, Cindy Daniel takes to the back streets of the Bible Belt in a rollicking, Texas-sized mystery!"
—Ann Cavan, Sisters In Crime

"Cindy Daniel's debut mystery is a down-home delight. Amateur sleuth Hannah Fogarty takes charge with an infectious enthusiasm for mystery that is certain to pass along to the reader."
—Kathryn Lively, author of Little Flowers (2003 EPPIE Finalist), Murder Most Trivial, Saints Preserve Us and Dangerous Words

"A delightfully warm and humorous debut."
—Tamar Myers, author of Tiles and Tribulations and Splendor in the Glass

"In Death Warmed Over, Cindy Daniel details life in Destiny, TX so lovingly that I feel as if I could find it on a map. Then she throws in a double-handful of believable characters and a tricky murder plot that has me eager to see what's next for this debut author."
—Toni L.P. Kelner, Agatha, Anthony, Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice and Macavity Award winner and author of Wed and Buried

"First in the series, Death Warmed Over is a quintessential cosy featuring a sexy, full figured heroine who just loves all things chocolate. Told in a first person conversational style, the reader shares everything that happens to Hannah and it's mightily entertaining as Hannah does her best to imitate Kinsey Millhone. She's supported ably by her fellow Destiny residents who direct their gossip to her ear... (Readers) should enjoy peering over Hannah's shoulder... it was a lot of fun and I'll be on the look-out for the next book."
