The book’s strength is in its characters and descriptions… The setting was a character in itself. I loved the town! The author really made it come to life, not stinting on details (but not boring the reader either)… the writing kept me turning pages and I never once thought about setting it down

Whiteside has a good voice, and excellent descriptive abilities… the story and characters were well done, interesting, and the story well-developed and sufficiently mysterious enough to keep me reading. 5 STARS

Reading a story about lovers who have already lived many years and even already have grown children was refreshing. The Art of Love and Murder makes for an entertaining read for those who enjoy a bit of mystery and sexy romance, but with an innocence that doesn't leave one blushing. Kudos to Whiteside!
