Praise for Roanoke Ridge:

“Brilliant … indeed an excellent book.” -Maureen Jennings, author of the Murdoch Mystery series

“A fun, engaging read, written with lots of informed insider insight on a fascinating field — and with some neat cameos from the real world of Sasquatch research and investigation.”

-Dr. Darren Naish, palaeozoologist, University of Southampton

Praise for Lake Crescent:

“A mysterious and interesting romp into Canadian cryptid history! Readers — especially Atlantic Canadians — will enjoy this ‘deep dive’ into the legend of Cressie, the mythical eel-like serpent that supposedly inhabits Lake Crescent in Newfoundland and Labrador. Lake Crescent: A Creature X Mystery by J.J. Dupuis will keep you guessing until the end.”

Timothy S. Johnston, award-winning author of The Tanner Sequence series

“J.J. Dupuis crafts a mystery that’s atmospheric and layered, where myth and legend clash with real-world stakes. Lake Crescent pulled me under and kept me eager to know more.”

-Samantha K. Garner, author of The Quiet is Loud

Praise for Umboi Island:

“Dupuis’s entertaining third Creature X mystery (after 2021’s Lake Crescent) smoothly combines scientific mystery and action. Fans of Lincoln Child’s Jeremy Logan books will hope this series has a long run.” -Publishers Weekly

“Umboi Island is an exciting romp, mixing science and the paranormal with mystery and intrigue. Although it can be read as a standalone novel, readers are encouraged to grab Roanoke Ridge and Lake Crescent first for the full effect.” -Chris Rutkowski Winnipeg Free Press
