REVIEWS:
The novel is sprinkled with witty dialogue and laugh-out-loud moments and while the romance is light and charming, the mystery keeps things engaging, culminating in a surprisingly satisfying twist. Maisie felt like the girl next door—relatable, warm, and someone you can’t help but root for. Though the English countryside is unfamiliar to me, it was painted exactly as one would expect, and Paris was captured in all its dreamy, la vie en rose charm.
From the first chapter, Maisie took my hand and didn’t let go until the very last page. I can only hope she returns for another mystery.
I thought that A Gift for Maisie Bloom by Jessie Cahalin is “Sabrina” meets “Miss Marple”.
A Gift for Maisie Bloom by Jessie Cahalin is the ideal read for lovers of small-town cozy mysteries and clean, friends-to-lovers romances. Goodreads reviewer.
‘This wonderful mystery is a gift for readers who enjoy cozy crime, intrigue and romance. Loved Maisie and I want to solve more mysteries with her. More Please!’

‘Refreshingly different! Laugh-out-loud humour laced with whimsy, eccentric characters and delightful glimpses of the Yorkshire countryside and romantic Paris. Will Maisie find what she is searching for? I so enjoyed the journey. I love the pearls of wisdom sprinkled in this lovely story.’
Angela Petch – Bestselling author
Maisie is quite a unique character- a fascinating blend of innocence, creativity, joy, even zaniness. Loved her in this book and looking forward to seeing how her life and world evolve in future books.
Congratulations! Readers are going to fall in love with Maisie. There are many other delightful characters, too. And we all love to read about small villages in Yorkshire!
Jena Henry – Award winning US podcaster and reviewer
A Gift for Maisie Bloom is all things delicious… Not one but two handsome heroes present themselves for your (and the heroine’s) approval. I defy you not to laugh out loud at the antics of the nosy neighbours. Do you like a glamorous background? Take a trip to Paris with Maisie in search of her errant aunt, dead – or not? – in a tragic accident while pursuing a mystery of her own.
