5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, November 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: No Good Deed (Sonora Blair Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a fan of good detective fiction. But sadly, I have found that many pieces of the genre fail to thrill and satisfy me the way Hightower has with NO GOOD DEED. After reading this book, I can easily place Lynn S. Hightower in the same category as John Grisham. Hightower's heroine Sonora Blair is both bewitching and believable. And the ending is a jolt! (As endings should be with any good piece of detective fiction.)

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm surprized I hadn't discovered Hightower earlier!, December 28, 1998

This review is from: NO GOOD DEED (Sonora Blair Mysteries) (Hardcover)

Lynn Hightower spins a good detective/cop story. This one is set in the lower echelons of the horse business, and the auction scenes may break your heart, as they did that of the heroine, Sonora Blair. The plot was intricate and absorbing, had enough twists and turns to keep a veteran reader of this genre interested, and had good characterization, especially of the harried life of a working mother/police detective/single woman seraching for love & romance protagonist, Sonora. And I liked the setting of horsey Cincinnati, even though I'm not particularly horse-enamored. It made me want to take a drive through the area and look again at the marginal horse farms, not just the ritzy ones.

I liked this book well enough to go searching for other detective mysteries by Hightower.

This review is from: No Good Deed (Sonora Blair Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

This was one of the most enjoyable mysteries I have read so far this year. Hightower's attention to detail is just right, making me feel at times like I was reading a true-crime book. I haven't read any of her other novels (yet), but if they're like this one, then this ranks with one of the best series on mystery fiction. I've docked the novel one star because an important clue was not discovered until the end.
