"...See No Evil, My Pretty Lady is a delightful and intriguing historical mystery which will satisfy fans of historical fiction, those who read for plot, and those who enjoy character revelation and development...Author Miss Mae provides a wealth of genuine historical detail in the setting and plot, delicately interwoven and subtle. The plot has sufficient twists and turns that readers will find themselves figuratively turning pages quickly to discover the next revelation. I can’t imagine any reader who wouldn’t enjoy this book, which is attention-maintaining, intriguing, and will linger in the mind after the end. I highly recommend this book."...

Raakhee of Writers and Readers of Distinctive Fiction says: "...A gripping read that kept me hooked from the very first page. Not predictable in any way full as it is with many a twist in this plot. SEE NO EVIL, MY PRETTY LADY revels the complexity of human emotions. Although it read more like a mystery than a romance the bottom line is that it has great entertainment value. I loved every page of it!"

"...I can see why See No Evil, My Pretty Lady remained so long on the bestseller list and got such excellent reviews. In short, it is excellent. As a UK resident, born and bred, I can honestly say it seems historically accurate. The accents and language pertaining to the era are totally believable. The atmosphere is incredible and evocative of the era. The characters are rich and colourful and, again, utterly believable. Miss Mae has spun a web of intrigue that has you gripped throughout."

Charlotte Chalmers, author of The Madness of Celia Summers, The Wild Rose Press

***********************************************************

See No Evil, My Pretty Lady is a combination of mystery, thriller and romance that tingles the spine and delights the senses. It tells the tale of one woman's quest, frightful at times, to uncover truths, dispel myths and separate fact from fiction, all on the heels of some fiendish foe who would rather she remain deathly ignorant.

Miss Mae has done a phenomenal job of interweaving various story elements to create an intense plot and carefully crafted tale of love and suspense.
