WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT FORTUNE KOOKIES:

I laughed out loud in parts and really appreciated the humor and witty dialogue - especially between the Celia and Gertie. It reminded me a touch of the show Hacks, with it's pacing and cleverly written characters. It's the first cozy mystery book I've read, but now that I have a taste for them I'll surely read more. - Xaymum

Hilarious and full of twists. The characters are also amusing and fit just fine in the story. The writing style is also interesting and easy to follow. Highly recommend. - AF

Stephen John's writing style reminds me a little of Elmore Leonard's. Dialogue-driven plot, full of wit and interesting characters. Throw in a standup comedy contest and you get so caught up in Mr John's story you can't get too excited if they don't catch the murderer. (But they do.) -jot

The antagonist chemistry between Gertie and Celia and the snappy back and forth scene in the comedy club competition is hilarious.-lb

This story will pull you in and you laugh so hard you'll cry. I love the way this amazing author brings the story to life before your eyes an you can feel the characters emotions and their pain. -CD

Could be his best yet. The new character, Brennan Noble, fits right in with SWAMP Team 3. Solid storyline, lots of laughs. -S
