review 1: Not really a mystery as the murderer and the Romeo and Juliette romance are easy to figure out, but rather a mystical tale full of magical realism. The strongest voice of the story is Pony Jones, alredy dead when we meet her. A successful female bull rider,Pony isn't about to leave this earth without revealing her killer. Jo Beth Dawson, a failed alcoholic cop, finds her grave and is drawn into detective work again against her will. She will run up against Pony's anguished father out for revenge and her former partner on the police force. Jo Beth hears Pony's voice, sees her spirit animal in the form of a white wolf, and experiences the wild growth of Cherokee roses wherever Pony's soul lights down. In the end, a hopeful and miraculous resolution releases Pony to meet h... moreer ancestors and gives peace to Jo Beth and her father.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. My friend, Sonya, sent me an e-mail & said that this book is really good. It was written by another friend of hers (that I also know) who writes romances and funny mysteries under another name. Knowing that, I didn't really expect to like this book because I'm not a big fan of romance, but I was wrong. Sonya predicted that it will be a best seller, and I agree. It would be a shame to miss such a great story. less
