3.0 out of 5 stars Say What?, November 18, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Savage Cut (Mass Market Paperback)
The short editorial review of Savage Cut by Ingram has a couple errors. Ruby was divorced from her daughter's father when he was killed in the automobile accident which injured her daughter, so Ruby is not a widow. She was a receptionist for a private investigator who recognized her special talent and obtained training in graphology for her. She was not a graphologist for the LAPD.
I have loved Dereske's Miss Zukas' novels and am interested in this series as well though I do have problems with it. The motivation behind Ruby's friend's actions--her marriages, her affairs, her secrets--just didn't ring true. The descriptions of the daughter's condition and therapy are fascinating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Savage cut, April 28, 2001

This review is from: Savage Cut (Mass Market Paperback)
Good read. Highly recommended for those into "light" mysteries. Though I still prefer the Miss Zukas series. But then again, I am biased as I live in Washington state and am a librarian...

3.0 out of 5 stars miss zukas cut, May 13, 2011
a jo dreske mystery without miss zukas is sad.however, after you have read all the librarian books,this is fun.it is a light,well plotted mystery.
