review 1: I was not fond of this book--which won the Tony Hillerman award--it is set in the Southwest, but that is where the similarities ended, at least for me. If you are searching for something to reinforce your ideas that all immigrants are associated with drug trafficking, and some improbable success for local law enforcement, this is your book. i will note that my spouse liked this significant;y more than I did, so if you are into hard boiled murder mysteries, you might very much like this.
review 2: I made it to page 43, then flung it across the room. (Actually, I got up out of bed and put it in my bookbag nicely). Too many books have to have the obligatory right wing bashing. Of course, there are gun nuts and Second Amendment crazies, people who supposedly r... moreant day and night against Democrats, in this book. This author started rather early, around page 27. For once, I would like to read about a crazy OWS member, or maybe some goofy black panthers. It's not like there is not enough fodder for this type of characterization. Maybe authors are scared they will alienate readers, because, you know, people on the right don't read, duh! So, once the stereotypical political F.U. was over, I was too lazy to get out of bed and switch books, so I kept reading. I was thinking, this author thinks in cliches. I bet Josie, being all independent and pretty, (without knowing it, of course), has a really nice place out in the desert somewhere, simple, yet comfortable. My God, did she! Not only simple, but hand hewn PECAN timbers! Rustic southwestern furniture! Navajo Indian blankets! Hand carved benches! An old man named Dell, who looks after Josie like a daughter, and lives close by! Wait, what? Ms Fields, have you no orginality? B is for Bogus. less
