Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
About the only people controversial artist Sally Love hasn't offended by her Erotobiography exhibit in Saskatoon's Mendel Gallery- -aside from Clea Poole, loyal manager of Sally's womanswork gallery- -are her outsized mother Nina; her husband, gallery director Stuart Lachlan; her grizzled former lover Izaak Levin; and her childhood friend Joanne Kilbourn, recently returned to teach at the university- -and these are exactly the people who become the main suspects when Clea is killed shortly after Sally announces that she's sold womanswork. There's more violence ahead, most of it deeply felt. Though you'll probably stay one step ahead of Jo and the police in plumbing the small cast's dark secrets, Bowen unfolds her familiar intrigues with a real sense of tragedy and compassion: these really are secrets to die for. A superior debut. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

I must read for mystery lovers and wheat belt residents.,
By rkpalm@soonet.ca (Sault Ste. Marie, Ontariio, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love and Murder (Hardcover)
If you are tired of mysteries set in New York, Los Angeles and other well know urban centres, this book is for you. It is set in a fresh, new region: the province of saskatchewan in Canada. Yet it could be North or South dakota, Iowa or Nebraska. It has those characters typical to farm-belt urban areas. Bowen, a professor at the Saskatchewan Indain Federate College of the University of Regina know her setting and is brilliant at character development. She has created a new and interesting dectective in Ms. Kilborn, a political activist and, yes, university professor. Her plot is complexed and will keep you reading and puzzled, until the last few pages. Her major characters are interesting, and the relationships with family and riends refreshing. Try this book, you will want to read all the rest of this series
