Reviews

""Fans of Havill's fine multicultural procedural series set in Posadas County, N.Mex., will welcome the unusual 17th entry (after 2011's Double Prey), a prequel set in 1987... This solid installment is the perfect introduction for new readers.""--Publishers Weekly review of One Perfect Shot "Action is the byword here. I couldn't read and turn the pages fast enough. The descriptions of the topography of this piece of New Mexico made me feel as though I drove over the back trails and walked on the uneven ground. The characters sure wouldn't fit in the East - nor would the gun racks in the back of their trucks - but their clothing and speech sound authentic. Double Prey is a good read that shouldn't be missed." --Bookloons review of Double Prey The Posadas County Mystery series (Final Payment, 2007, etc.) notches its sixth with all its signature virtues intact: good writing, an unerring sense of place and a protagonist it's a pleasure to root for.""--Kirkus review of Fourth Time is Murder
