review 1: Wow! This isn't my typical genre but it sure sucked me in. Cooley's voice is authentic crime/thriller, totally believable and made me feel fully present in the scene. What I love best about the writing was Cooley's dry wit and cop humor, and quirky but astute attention to detail. The characters were endearing - even the bad guys - and a more minor character Annie was a particular fave. The protagonist June is incredibly sympathetic, strong yet vulnerable so I think any woman would enjoy this book whether it is her usual genre or not. The tension moved me along - I can't wait for book 2!
review 2: A former FBI agent-turned small town cop (due to the cancer and death of her husband), helps unravel a double murder and a major drug production center and potent... moreial pipeline. The upstate New York setting (a once successful industrial town growing poorer and smaller) is well described, as are all of the primary and secondary characters. The ending (the apprehension of a somewhat obvious perpetrator) is marred by one of those killer-tells-all scenes to wrap up loose ends, and preceded by the obligatory scene in which the lone woman cop goes into an empty factory building in search of the suspect, but the central character deserves another outing. less
