Community Affairs

Review Community Affairs is a mystery story with humor. Michele Lynn Seigfried has created characters that will make you laugh, worry, love and hate. I found myself reading late into the night because I couldn't wait to find out what Bonnie would do next. It kept me involved right up to the ending I never saw coming. Community Affairs stands very well on its own merit. I highly recommend this book and anxiously await book number four. ~Trudi LoPreto, Readers' Favorite      It's detective writing at its best: adding a dash of humor to the mix to create not just comic relief, but the personality and whimsy lacking in most stories of amateur sleuths. And that's what makes Community Affairs not just a standout, but a top recommendation. ~D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer, Midwest Book ReviewsCommunity Affairs is fascinating, engrossing, and entertaining. The dialogue and action are both excellent. The author has an ear for dialogue and that keeps the story moving. The back cover copy promises humor and I believe the book delivers. I chuckled and smiled as I read. ~Judge, 23rd Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards Product Description A tale of kidnapping, murder, and neighbors you’d like to kidnap and murder… Bonnie Fattori is a sexy, sassy, Italian Princess living in New Jersey.
