News and Reviews...
Praise for Broken Trust
"State Trooper Jim Duncan and public defender Sally Castle make an irresistible crime-fighting duo in Broken Trust, the new mystery in Liz Milliron’s Laurel Highlands series. Compelling; fast-paced; and filled with twists as Jim and Sally try to balance their jobs and their personal relationship while on the hunt for a killer in rustic Pennsylvania. Highly recommended."
- R.G. Belsky, author of the Clare Carlson mystery series
Praise for Lie Down with Dogs
“Lie Down with Dogs is another fast-paced tightly-plotted mystery from Liz Milliron. Highly recommend!” - Bruce Robert Coffin, award-winning author of the Detective Byron Mysteries
Praise for The Enemy We Don't Know
"World War II on the home front comes alive in Milliron's new-series debut as Betty Ahern solves more than one mystery even while toiling in a Buffalo airplane factory with other young women. The story is riveting, Betty's courage and persistence are a delight, and her sidekicks provide perfect support and caution. The Homefront Mysteries promise to keep you on the edge of your seat...and smiling as you read"
-Edith Maxwell, author of the Agatha-nominated historical Quaker Midwife Mysteries
"Liz Milliron gives us a charming new series that I absolutely love and think you will too. Betty Ahern is feisty, loyal, and determined. Finding her way in a traditionally men’s world, she not only helps the war effort by working at Bell Airplane, she’s following her dream to become a private eye with a little help from her friends. If Sam Spade and Rosie the Riveter had a love child, she’d be Betty Ahern."
-Annette Dashofy, USA Today-bestselling author of the Zoe Chambers Mysteries
"A lively, richly atmospheric novel, set in the defense plants and ethnic neighborhoods of World War II Buffalo, NY, The Enemy You Don’t Know is “Rosie the Riveter Meets Sam Spade.” With fresh, idiosyncratic dialogue from a charismatic narrator, Liz Milliron delivers a compelling, crackerjack of a novel. Betty Ahern is the irrepressible heroine. Smart, stubborn, and—yes—reckless, she works in a defense factory building airplanes for the war effort. At least when she’s not investigating disturbing acts of sabotage at the plant, snooping into the murder of a co-worker’s brother, or keeping her eye on some suspicious Nazi sympathizers. And all this while doing her best to circumvent her parents’ strict Irish-Catholic house rules. Readers will love this tale of derring-do on the home front."
—James W. Ziskin, author of the Anthony and Macavity award-winning Ellie Stone mysteries
Praise for The Lessons We Learned
“As WWII is being fought overseas, an entirely different battle is being waged on the home front, in Buffalo, New York. Milliron offers an authentic glimpse into the life of a woman on the cusp of coming into a new world of her own making as she fully embarks on becoming a private investigator. Intriguing, charming, and a delight to unravel the mysterious murder of her dear friend’s father, readers will truly enjoy Betty, the memorable, plucky PI.”—L.A. Chandlar, award-winning author of The Art Deco Mystery Series
