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.

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
