[PORTRAIT OF VICTORINE] is the product of a unique idea and a fun setting.   . . fun to read . . . the fast pace creates much excitement within the novel.

[Murder on the Canterbury Pilgrimage] is such a fun book! Using the Canterbury pilgrimage as a backdrop and placing Geoffrey Chaucer in the role of detective is an interesting idea. Author Mary Devlin is to be commended for providing such a unique plot. I've grown weary of some of today's suspense authors and their cookie-cutter story lines. Murder on the Canterbury Pilgrimage is a welcome sight on the book shelf. I recommend [it] to all mystery lovers. If this Devlin work had been around when I was in high school, I may have had a deeper appreciation for Chaucer. – The Book Haven

A Fatal Pilgrimage To The Canterbury Cathedral. Even though I'm not familiar with the Middle Ages, I thoroughly enjoyed this timeless tale of corrupt clergy and the unconventional methods of profiling Sophia's killer. [Murder on the Canterbury Pilgrimage is not] to be missed if you like medieval mysteries. ***** – Sara’s Library

[Murder on the Canterbury Pilgrimage], in addition to giving us a wonderful mystery, also does a fine job of setting Chaucer in the context of his time, and making his world come alive. . . . A book such as this is the perfect way to create a vivid picture of Chaucer's world, which the author has done very well. I would compare Devlin's novel favorably to the marvelous Nicholas Bracewell mysteries by Edward Marston, set in the London theater scene of the 1590s. Both make the past come alive with real people (even in fiction). ***** - A reader at Amazon.com

Love, Tears and Fears! DEVON WAKEFIELD by Mary Devlin. The action starts on the first page, there are few 'explanatory conversations' between the characters - yet the history is very much present throughout the book, due to some clever crafting on the part of the author. The heroine, Devon Wakefield, is a plucky little girl who shouldn't have even been on the First Fleet; the hero, a confirmed Londoner named Jonathan Lake, undergoes a profound inner transformation because of Australia and because of his love for Devon. The action never ceases, and the characters are well-drawn. . . .Whether or not you're interested in early Australian history, if you like historical romances you'll love DEVON WAKEFIELD. And if you don't particularly like historical romances, you'll still like it. In my humble opinion, it's better literature than most of the historical romances on the market. Enjoy! ***** T. B.
