M I C H A E L  C R A F T

AVAILABLE IN 3 EDITIONS: a Meghan Auric crime novel

Cover art of the novel "Not Our Crowd, Darling."

“A surprising and stylish novel of a heartland society widow, a tower, and a secret. Craft wrings insight, pathos, and beauty in crisp, lyrical prose.” 

BookLife Reviews (Editor’s Pick)

A slow-burning but ultimately uplifting novel of second chances, the tale deftly ex-plores compelling themes of self-discovery, loss, and rebuilding self-respect in the wake of bad choices.” 

Kirkus Reviews

“Embracing and engaging, spiced with just enough sus-pense to keep its outcome satisfyingly unpredictable.”
