review 1: Good book with lots of twists and turns. Set in modern day Phoenix but Jon Talton provides a lot of interesting Phoenix history. As a Mesa, Arizona resident, I enjoyed the references to local landmarks and locations and recent events but even if you don't live in The Valley of the Sun or have not visited here, you would still find the book entertaining--it's not an "insider's" book. It's a good mystery and well written.
review 2: This book is definitely part of a series, and not the place I would start reading. For those who already like the series, it a good but not stellar entry. Mapstone is now out of his Deputy Sheriff's job, and his relationships are going through big changes. He and his estranged wife face emotional turmoil, complicated by the presence... more of his wife's sister Robin in Mapstone's house and in need of his protection. The plot was a little convoluted, and I didn't get as drawn into the story as in some previous books, but the writing is good and the atmosphere of Phoenix in a down economy is very real and intense. less
