5.0 out of 5 stars The First Book from a Promising Writer, July 17, 2001

This review is from: Shadows in the Grass (Paperback)

This is a wonderful first book, and I read it in two page-turning sittings. Ms. Senehi takes us into the colliding worlds of big-city musicians and small-town horticulturalists, mixers in a frighteningly realistic psychopath, and delivers a marvelous love story. I wanted to move into the little town Rose Senehi describes and buy a house, and invite all her characters (except the psychopath) to my first party. I can't wait for her next offering.
