Why Readers Love the Cassandra Sato Mystery Series
“Brakenhoff integrates very real concerns about how to make a college campus truly inclusive into a diverting whodunit.” ~ Publishers Weekly
“Dead Week is an exciting read that has humor and heart with a journey about family and an honest inside look at the deaf community.” ~ Readers’ Favorite
“Ms. Brakenhoff does an excellent job reintroducing Cassandra, her colleagues, students, and two mysteries both a recent and a cold case that tie together brilliantly.”
Relatable, Flawed Heroine: “The main character, as an academic and a caring individual, is committed to full inclusion for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing students… An unusually young, very accomplished Asian-American woman starting in a high academic position on a very white Midwestern college campus is definitely going to be an outsider, and the author conveyed that really well.” ~@zonuts on BookBub
Engaging Narration: “Cline brings the story to life with her engaging narration, skillfully capturing the essence of each character. Her voice adds depth to Cassandra Sato’s personality, and she effectively conveys the tension and humor woven throughout the plot. Cline’s pacing is excellent, maintaining the story’s rhythm while ensuring that the suspenseful moments land with impact.” ~ Carol F, Amazon reviewer
Unique Inclusion of Deaf Culture: “…the narrator’s ability to capture the sense and emotional content of conversation and translated sign language speeches, as well as the slightly distorted speech of a deaf character without being disrespectful, really added texture and human depth that might not be as affecting when reading words on the page.” ~ Amazon reviewer
