"Fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum will cotton to Cyd. " - Publishers Weekly
"The passenger list in Wendall Thomas's Drowned Under is a cavalcade of randy former nuns, gigolos, stowaways, near-extinct marsupials...and one brilliantly sexy disaster of a globetrotting travel agent named Cyd Redondo. Thanks to her wildly creative mind, the fruits of which produce frequent affronts to her dignity, Cyd is easily one of my favorite amateur sleuths in fiction today. Thomas's writing flows effortlessly, and her plotting is complex but perfectly tied together. This is a remarkable novel in what is shaping up to be an exciting and hilarious series. Don't miss Drowned Under or its predecessor, Lost Luggage. You'll love Cyd, perhaps the funniest heroine out there. Highest recommendation.
" - James W. Ziskin, Anthony and Macavity award winning author of the Ellie Stone mysteries
"Bravo. Cyd Redondo, Redondo Travel, is at it again. What a wonderful sequel to Lost Luggage. With her clever mind, tart comebacks, and Balenciaga tote bag, Cyd is a fearsome force. I love her pluck, the way she digs her way out of trouble, and her willingness to do everything she can-even die-for her clientele. What a heroine for the modern age. Do not miss this!
" - Daryl Wood Gerber, Agatha award-winning national bestselling author of the Cookbook Nook and French Bistro mysteries
"Drowned Under is laugh out loud funny. With its finely tuned timing and zany, emotional protagonist, this novel puts Thomas in a class with Carl Hiassen and Janet Evanovitch.
" - Nancy Tingley, Lefty nominated author of the Jenna Murphy mysteries
