Publisher Description
Maxie McNabb, the irresistible Winnebago-driving sixty-something-year-old, is back–and criminals from the frigid Iditarod Trail to the scorching Southwest had better beware. With her canine companion, Stretch, in tow, Maxie is "the most refreshingly original protagonist to come along in years" (Rick Riordan). And this time, she sets out to turn one on-edge town back into a peaceful pueblo…. One of the best parts of zigzagging the country in her Minnie Winnie is the possibility of endless adventure–and Maxie McNabb is always up for trying new things. So she and little Stretch head for the languorous heat of Taos, New Mexico, where Maxie plans to learn how to weave. But everything changes for the sleepy town when a local woman attempts suicide. A casualty of her husband's midlife crisis, she has been replaced by a newer, sexier model. And to top it off, a sleazy con man has set his sights on her. Even though she's on vacation, Maxie is determined to help the poor thing. And with her nose for trouble, she thinks she can do it. She'll leave no mesa unturned until she brings two dogs to justice–neither of which is trusty Stretch….

“Maxie’s cherished independence and her willingness to seek out new experiences alone and single should resonate with fans of cozy and atmospheric mysteries.”

The Tooth of Time Listener Reviews

" The Tooth of Time is another relaxing mystery by Sue Henry featuring dachshund Stretch and his owner Maxie. Travelling in their RV and meeting another murder mystery. The narration is excellent and the story line is interesting. "

" I read The Refuge, the third book, before this one and was a little dismayed at several similar plot elements, but the story was light and enjoyable and the travel descriptions interesting--which seem to be the main point of this series anyway. I'm beginning to wonder if she's sponsored by an RV trade association. "

" Another fun read for the boomer age woman. "
— Annette, 12/12/2013 -
" Was an easy read. The mystery was kind of thin, but I love Maxie and Stretch. I also loved how the author taught us the area history without it being boring. "
— Lauri, 12/11/2013 -
" A fast, entertaining read. I enjoy the description of the places Maxie goes as much as the plot. "
— Quinn, 11/8/2013 -
" Nice, 'cozy' mystery. A little quiet but a good change of pace. "
— Vickie, 11/1/2013 -
" liked better than the first, probably because of all the information about yarn and weaving "
— Jill, 10/30/2013 -
" good, but not as good as the other series "
— Jayne, 10/23/2013 -
" I always enjoy Maxie and Stretch and this book has them in New mexico on a vacation. The title comes from a mountain in the area of Taos, NM. where they of course find themselves embrioled in another mystery. Enjoyable and easy read. "
— Anne, 9/24/2013 -
" This was a book on CD. The main character is pretty stupid at times but if you don't listen too closely, it passes the travel time well enough. "
— Marianne, 9/16/2013 -
" What can I say? A feisty old woman driving her mini-Wini around the country with her dachshund, solving mysteries -- gotta love her. "
— Dee, 9/7/2013 -
" It has been a long time since I read a non-fantasy mystery. The descriptions of Taos and the surrounding areas were interesting and the character believable. It is an enjoyable read. "

" On sale for $1.00 at a yard sale. Didn't like it as much as her Alaska stories, very light and super quick read. "
— Linda, 2/22/2013 -
" Like the review says: She's the Winnebago-driving, pistol-packing sixty-something-year-old-and she's back, with her dog. I enjoyed the lite mystery, the explanation of weaving and view of the Southwest. She's an independent woman and I liked reading about her trials, triumphs and travels. "
— Melvago, 2/21/2013 -
" A fun book on unabridged CD. Liked the story and the telling. "
— Tom, 1/5/2013 -
" Fun to follow a person of my own age on a mystery. "
— Sarah, 11/2/2012 -
" Easy, undemanding read. I cared more about the dog than any of the human characters, but I'm kind of like that. "
— Amy, 9/12/2012 -
" The story was good, but the first part read more like a real journal--rambling and unfocused. Once I got past that, it picked up and was rather interesting. "
— Lanita, 8/11/2012 -
" This has the interesting premise that senior Maxie is traveling around in her Winnebago with her dog Stretch. Unfortunately, the mystery part of the novel is a letdown. The characters aren't that well developed, either. "
— Grey853, 10/15/2011 -
" I had forgotten about this series, it is a tad predictable but fun. "
— Anne, 6/22/2011 -
" The tone of the narrator of this mystery series, Maxie Mcnabb, is annoying with its conventional insertions of adjectives like "pleasant", "attractive", "comfortable" and much of the book reads like a travel brochure. Yet, Henry's plots are pretty well done and her culprits are a surprise. "
