About Denise Swanson
Unlike the usual repertoire of mystery novels, Denise Swanson’s storytelling comes with humor, wit and LOL moments not easily found in others. Aside from the thrill and nerve-wracking excitement of solving a murder case, each of her books have creative and well-paced plot infused with humorous dialogues, witty banters, and knee-bending romance. At the rate her mystery novels are going, it will be no time to hear a Denise Swanson movie or television serious pretty soon.
