Reviews

"More of a coming of age story than a mystery ... the spare prose-poetry of her descriptions and dialogue is a lot more interesting than anything she has to say about crime or detection." --Kirkus Reviews "An appealing 19-year-old heroine, Renee 'Cash' Blackbear, lifts [Marcie] Rendon's first mystery." --Publishers Weekly
