Tularosa Audiobook

" I am hooked on this wonderfully written detective series set in beautiful New Mexico!! "

" The development of the character of Kevin Kerney was excellent. I think I'm going to read the whole series. "

" I sped through this New Mexico based mystery, enjoying the descriptions of New Mexico, the characters and the story. "

" The dialogue was, at times, laughable, there were way too many pointless descriptions of setting and clothing for my taste and, if it were not chosen for a genre study, I would have lost interest by chapter two. It would be great for someone who enjoys novels with a southwestern setting and the action in chapter 12 was fast paced (the only chapter that held my interest) resulting in a fairly exciting conclusion. "

" McGarrity sets out a compelling missing persons case with lots of twist. He does a great job at character development and description and the setting is grand for one who was raised on the Jim Chee stories of the Tony Hilerman era. "

" Outstanding modern western. Definitely want to continue this series. "

" I have to say I wanted to like this book, since I had lived in New Mexico for a time. But it really wasn't very good. Another friend liked the main character, Kevin Kerney, and said she would read another book featuring him. "

" Good book, I like Kerney. I would like to read the whole series and see how his relationship with Sara builds. I like the interaction between the two of them. Kerney seems like the kind of man you would want to keep in your life, friend or lover. "

" Really enjoyed this mystery set in the American southwest. That area of the country is not my favorite part of the US, but McGarrity makes you want to go visit. Kerney fits into his surroundings well. You care just as much about his personal struggles as you do about the mystery. "

" New Mexico guy. Fun, not deep. "

" This was a quick, quick read. Characters and plot very engrossing. Set in New Mexico. The setting is part of the character too "

" Story was pretty good, dialog seemed a bit stilted sometimes. Overall a good read, I'd read more by him! "

" I don't usually expect a lot from the mysteries and "suspense novels" that I read...but this was surprisingly uninteresting. A subway read because it's small, and truly not worth more. "

" I read this over 11 years ago. Noted only that it was the first Kevin Kearney mystery, I enjoyed it, and looked forward to more in the series. (Not sure if I've read any more; guess I'll find out as I go through my old "book journals".) "

" This was a very pleasant surprise to me. I was surprised to find that it's the first in a series and surprised at how much I truly enjoyed it. "

" The first, excellent mystery featuring that cool, impossibly progressive, cowboy cop Kevin Kerney. Set in New Mexico, which is the best! If you like detective fiction, start here. "

" Good series...I like the main characters. "

" Good Tony Hillerman type mystery. Like his command of language. "

" What fun to read about this area, and I'm glad he has a love interest, too! "

" This is the first in the Kerney series, and well worth reading. "

" OK book to read if you want to read a murder mystery. "

" Very enjoyable book set in New Mexico drawing on places and culture that is recognizable. While not Hillerman level yet, it is only his first attempt. I am expecting really good stuff from McGarrity. "

" good "popcorn" reading "

" Really want to read all this series - mystery and western all at once "

" This has been a favorite rec for both males and females. Everyone agrees they love Kevin! "
