More About the Author

Sinclair Browning spent her childhood on her belly in dry arroyos hunting sand rubies, converting her propane tank into a stagecoach and exploring the Sonoran desert on her horse. Summers were spent on the family ranch in southern Arizona.

One of five nominees for the Arizona Arts Award in 2000, Browning's mysteries have also been nominated for Shamus and Barry Awards. Publishers Weekly compared her America's Best to the "heroic war fiction of John Toland and Leon Uris."

A former writing instructor, her work covers a broad spectrum including suspense, mysteries, historical novels, a metaphysical novel and two nonfiction books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Trade, January 30, 2002

This review is from: Crack Shot (Mass Market Paperback)

Browing is putting together a terrific series with this cowgirl/sleuth. I've read all of her books, and I eagerly wait for the new one each year. Tucson is handled perfectly. I've also heard Browning speak at Left Coast Crime and Bouchercon. She is a fascinating woman, as are her books. She and this series deserves wider recognition. Read Crack Shot as soon as you can.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Romp, February 6, 2003

By 

Sally Nidester (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crack Shot (Mass Market Paperback)

This enjoyable romp through Arizona introduces you to colorful characters as Browning tracks her way through drug-dealing territory and an Hispanic grandmother who refuses to give up on her jail-bound grandson. The protagonist, Trade Ellis, tells the story in a pleasant voice. She's a strong, vibrant character. I admired the ending of the novel because the action was credible rather than overdone: the details had been carefully set up along the way. I do think the novel was too long; we get too much of the protagonist having lunch, etc.

The transaction was very easy and the book looked fine.
But, the novel did not live up to my expectations.
Seller: Five stars, Book: Three stars.
Thanks
