Anacacho is the first book in the next blockbuster mystery series, featuring a bright, feisty, young Texas attorney named Allie Armington. Anacacho is a finely crafted mystery that starts with a bang and rapidly evolves into a page turner and nail biter. Right from the start with a murder and conspiracy involving cattle, oil and drugs, Allie finds herself in the thick of things, and it nearly costs her her life. In the tradition of Sue Grafton and Faye Kellerman, Louise Gaylord's premiere mystery novel is sure to please fans of exciting, plot-twists-and-turns mysteries. The characters are engaging, with an assortment of those we like and those we love to hate. The problem is, we don't really know who the good guys are until the end. And that's what makes it all the more fun.

Texas to a T,
By Mr. Vernon J. Rosen (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anacacho (Allie Armington Mysteries) (Hardcover)
Well, its all there-the murder that sounds of mystery down to its Texas drawl. Ms. Gaylord doesn't miss an occasion to keep our attention to the plot's twists and turns, detached as hell, as she spins, spoofs and twangs her way through enough local color to rival any travel book describing the joys of ranch experience, if only for a few days (it would appear that longer would lead any of us to murderous thoughts). A not to miss treat with a cactus sting.

Great Lone Star Whodunnit...,
By george m smith (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anacacho (Allie Armington Mysteries) (Hardcover)
more plot twists, backstabbing and hidden agendas than sorority rush at the University of Texas...J.R. Ewing could only manage a "bit part" with this group...colorful characters with black hats and white (some both)...miles and miles of Texas (and Mexico)...the author did her homework about age old Texas traditions (from pidgeon shoots and margeritas to details of the Sunday evening South Texas menu)...the story line really takes off with the outcome of some characters in question until the last couple of pages. Didn't take long to finish this one -
5.0 out of 5 stars
More Louise Gaylord, Please!,
This review is from: Anacacho: An Allie Armington Mystery (Allie Armington Mysteries) (Paperback)
I've read 2 of Louise Gaylord's Allie Armington mysteries (so far!) and
really enjoy her characters and plot twists and turns. Other mysteries I've read seem predictable, almost too "coincidental", but I find with Gaylord's style, when you expect "predictability", you find intrigue, "coincidence" is instead exciting and relevant. I am looking forward to reading more from Louise Gaylord!
