"I loved it! I am now a fan of Harry Grouch. I could really see this guy and his different relationships. The book has a very unique plot line. I had a hard time getting to sleep when I was at the end because I really wanted to know if my deductions were close to those of Harry Grouch. I loved the multiple motives, the plot twists, and the characters. I am looking forward to the next Harry Grouch adventure."

"I found the book to be very enjoyable with a few informative tidbits of how wrongful convictions can and do occur. It was easy to relate to and grow fond of the main characters, and the many twists within the story delight the reader. It was hard to put this book down once I started it so I highly recommend this tale which intertwines between the past and present. If you are looking for a light mystery that can be inhaled in a short amount of time, this is it!"

"I found “The Witch of Maple Park” an intriguing mystery. It introduces the flawed detective, Harry Grouch, as the unwilling investigator of a gruesome murder. As the book progresses, it becomes evident that a parallel crime took place in Staten Island, NY, more than 150 years earlier. The integration of the two crimes as well as the development of Harry Grouch as a character is the outstanding achievement of the author, Mr. Tell. The book is an enjoyable read and I look forward to further Harry Grouch." mysteries."

"If this is Mr. Tell's first venture into mystery fiction, I eagerly anticipate the further adventures of the delightful Harry Grouch. (And don't you love that name?!) Just when I thought I knew where the story was heading. Mr. Tell threw this reader an author's curve ball with the introduction of an astoninshing parallel between the present gruesome murder and a similar atrocity committed in 1843. Coincidence? Reincarnation? Downright delightful simply because I love not just surprise endings, but surprise middles! I look forward to more of the engaging Harry Grouch."
