So far, I've received the following comments about my first
novel, Murder with a Touch of Spice:
Tom Rizzo, author of Last Stand at Bitter
Creek wrote:
“What the hell has this been sitting in a drawer for???? I
loved it. In fact, I forgot about editing half way thru because I was so
enchanted by the story. I think you've got a fun, potentially good selling
novel on your hands.”
"I finished reading your book last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Though
my normal response to humorous entertainment is to quietly smile, I found
myself frequently giggling aloud! The characters were so filled with life; the
Spice family became dear to me early in the novel.
"My reading habit seems to center on nonfiction as my
counseling practice tends to command that I thoroughly research for cases.
Occasionally I just take “me-time” and allow myself to escape to other worlds.
And what a delightful world your words took me to. At times I was reminded of
1930s or 40s murder mystery movies. (I must admit I love them!) I was also
reminded of the works of Susan Wittig Albert, a San Marcos author who has
written novels about China Bayles. By the end of the book I felt as if somehow
“007” had slipped in and worked with Texas style Charlie’s Angels.
"I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to more!"

Gloria Hander Lyons has hidden her light under a bushel for
too long when it comes to writing fiction!! Better known for her "how
to" instruction books and for her "bucket list" blog, Ms. Lyons
has blessed us all with a neat story about the 'spice sisters'.
The story moves along at a fast pace. There is a pinch of humor blended into
the very serious story of a murder mystery. Her characters are fun! I predict
great success with her readers demanding MORE!!
Action, action, action. Around every corner, or should I say
page, is a new predicament for one of the Spice sisters. Each sister is sent on
a different assignment in order to solve the murder mystery. By the end, you
are ready for another adventure. For a lighthearted mystery that makes you
smile, this can't be beat. I can't believe it is the first novel for this
talented writer.

This was such a pleasant read! The story was full of
non-stop action. It was a well-balanced mix of humor, drama, suspense,
action/adventure, and a dash of romance (which is normally all I can handle). I
thoroughly enjoyed this book! I just couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I
highly encourage you to read this book. It's just too good to pass up.

Wow! I couldn't put this book down. There was action and
intrigue on every page. Gloria's wonderful ability to draw you into the scene
along with her humorous quips makes this a great book to recommend. It had a
Nancy Drew appeal but with a play on words that made me snicker! Check this
book out if you like an action whodunit with a side of comedic wit. I hope this
is the first of many mystery novels for Gloria!!!
