Ohnita Harbor Mystery Series
Praise for Ohnita Harbor…
If Crisafulli keeps setting her mystery thrillers in Ohnita Harbor (and I hope she will), that fictional little Upstate New York town will not only have as many bodies to bury as Midsomer County but will be as famous as Louise Penny’s Three Pines or even Agatha Christie’s St. Mary Mead – and justifiably so.

Patricia Crisafulli draws her characters with such empathy and compassion, they pull us into the story and make their concerns our own while she weaves a web of suspense around their world.

Who knew a rummage sale could be so interesting? Or so dangerous? Crisafulli has given us the perfect cozy—an intriguing mystery, characters to root for, and a setting that is both familiar yet unique. And a bit more—the character complexity and exquisite writing of a literary novel. A gem of a book.

As soon as I started reading The Secrets of Ohnita Harbor, I found myself neglecting the tasks on my to-do list: I had to find out what was behind the compelling mysteries at the heart of this story. Patricia Crisafulli has crafted an engrossing and erudite novel which was satisfying on many levels, perhaps especially for its well-drawn characters and finely wrought plot.
