Michaels has crafted a mystery novel that is suitable for readers of all sensibilities, yet delivers a convincing and realistic plot line amid its many entertaining scenes and charming prose. The summertime setting of Geneva is superbly atmospheric thanks to the author's choice of descriptive language, and I particularly admired the use of dialogue as a major exposition tool rather than having reams of unnecessary explanation in the prose itself. This is the mark of an intelligent mystery writer who has crafted an excellently paced story. The central characters Mac and Millie are well-considered and fleshed out as heroes that readers will find endearing to follow through their exploits. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Swedish Days Swindle to mystery readers seeking an immersive story from an accomplished writer. - K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite ***FIVE STARS*** J.B. Michaels excels in writing supernatural novels; The Swedish Days Swindle is no exception to his talents. The author combines suspense with a touch of witchcraft in the lives of an adorable couple. Both Mac and Millie are well rounded and have strong deductive skills that are used to unravel this web of mystery. The author uses a bit of irony as Millie, the good witch, works at the Salem Bank. Overall, the author skillfully moves the story along at a breathtaking rate as the plot twists into an intriguing finale. It is cozy as the characters look after each other, but unusual kinks in their plans keep the reader engaged. This is a dynamic duo that takes murder seriously but each would do anything to support their partner. - Peggy Jo Wipf for Readers' Favorite ***FIVE STARS*** "Millie was definitely my favorite character.
