Phyllis A Whitney recommends
Blameless (1995)
Barbara A Shapiro
"An absorbing, no-way-out story that kept me turning pages breathlessly."
Trail of Murder (1992)
(Lee Squires, book 1)
Christine Andreae
"I thoroughly enjoyed Trail of Murder, from its startling opening to a most satisfying conclusion. Christine Andreae writes so vividly that I feel as though I've experienced a wilderness trip in Montana with all those suspicious characters. Here is an outstanding new mystery talent to follow eagerly."
