"Really enjoyed this book. It was fun for me also because we knew the places he was talking about having lived there. Similar to Tony Hillerman or James D. Doss, but I think I enjoyed this one a little more. "

" It was fun following the action and the thought processes involved in solving the mysteries. "
— Paul, 1/5/2014 -
" Everytime I read one of McGarrity's books I want to move to New Mexico. Good suspenseful read. A sheriff's deputy is shot and a few hours later his wife is missing. Clayton is investigating the homicide with his father's help. I liked Clayton being a bigger part of the story. "

" Pretty good, does make up for the last book. "
— Rick, 12/22/2012 -
" This book held a lot of promise and remained a mystery until almost the very end. The ending however seemed very rushed as though the book needed to be done in time for a deadline. "

" Eccellent "

" One of the best in the series. Maybe the best in the series. "
— David, 1/19/2012 -
" I've read most of McGarrity's books and liked them, not as well as Tony Hillerman, but well enough. This one is a serious procedural, and interesting on the level of knowing the minute by minute steps in an investigation, but otherwise not very compelling. "
— Scott, 1/15/2012 -

" Another book in the series with vivid descriptions of the Santa Fe area, evoking the Tony Hillerman style. A good car or beach book, as the others in the series. "
— Caitlin, 9/8/2011 -

" Interesting. I enjoyed it. Standard MGarrity fare. <br/> <br/>I didn't learn anything from the book. Similar to others of McGarrity's book on police procedure. "
