Praise for Maynely A Mystery…
“Rumours of gold, a secret lover, ghosts and other mysteries create a labyrinth of intrigue as Maynely A Mystery traces the lives of the story’s animated eccentric characters. Author Leanne Dyck knows her craft, her audience, and her setting. Her novel provides a voyeuristic glimpse into human character and island life.” Terrill Welch (Leading Raspberry Jam Visions: Women’s Way)
