Editorial Reviews

Review

What makes Deher's novels special beyond their intriguing plots and engaging characters is Dreher's infectious sense of humor, her vivid descriptions and emotional integrity. I don't think I have read funnier dialogue anywhere. --Elynor Vine -Visibilites

The book is full of humor, spiced with suspense as Boston-born-and-bred Stoner struggles with horseback riding, murder, and her growing love for Gwen. Stoner McTavish is a treat. --Washington Blade

About the Author

In addition to writing the Stoner McTavish series of novels, Sarah Dreher is a clinical psycologist and prize winning playwright. She lives in Amherst, Massachusetts with her family of choice and assorted wild and domesticated beasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best!, November 2, 1999
By 
This review is from: Stoner McTavish (The First Stoner McTavish Mystery) (Stoner Mctavish Mysterie) (Paperback)
Sarah Dreher has created in Stoner McTavish a charecter lesbians can treasure. She's normal (that is, only mildly neurotic), with a gem of an aunt and a delightful friend in Marylou. On this first adventure she meets the woman of her dreams, except for the slight problem of a husband, Gwen is perfect. I love all the Stoner books! The dialog is funny, the characters real, the adventures amazing. And yes, they are very positive and affirming. If you haven't discovered them, buy them all ... and enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertainment Plus, May 7, 2001
By 
Sharilynn Gerchow (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stoner McTavish (The First Stoner McTavish Mystery) (Stoner Mctavish Mysterie) (Paperback)
Stoner McTavish is a reluctant sleuth who'd prefer to be at home in her travel agency with her best friend MaryLou and her unconventional aunt. However, in this, the first of the series, she finds herself in the rugged ranges of America's West, checking on the newly-married granddaughter of an acquaintance. Stoner is a realistic character, at ease with herself and her sexuality, and only mildly self-deprecating and neurotic (a nice change for a lesbian detective). Unlike some of the super-heroines created by other authors, Stoner has human failings, and is thus an engaging and appealing character. The romance in this novel is a little cliched (lust at first sight) but the descriptive writing and fast-paced dialogue make this a highly enjoyable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner!, August 5, 2002
By 
This review is from: Stoner McTavish (The First Stoner McTavish Mystery) (Stoner Mctavish Mysterie) (Paperback)
This is the first in the Stoner McTavish mystery series and is one of my favorite. The dialogue is quirky, the supporting characters are wonderful, and the plot always holds my attention. In this book Stoner travels to the Grand Tetons in Wyoming on assignment to make sure that the man Gwen just married won't put her or her trust fund in danger. Although officially on assignment Stoner soon has a very difficult time putting aside her sexual attraction to Gwen and her utter hatred for Byran. Will Stoner be able to save Gwen from the hands of Bryan or will Stoner blow her cover?

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery and solid writing.
