- Fits right alongside Craig Johnson, C.J. Box, and Nevada Barr.
- I’m a huge fan of contemporary westerns married with a mystery. This nails it.
- Nick Drake is wonderfully complex. His backstory in Vietnam is beautifully (and horrifically) described.
- The supporting characters feel so real. The old lawman, Deputy Pudge Warbler, is as flinty and resolute as his pitiless territory.
- I absolutely loved the Native American character, her language and myths.
- Got it on Friday and finished it on Saturday. An amazing read.
- Smart, thrilling, and action-packed.
- The prose crackles like the high desert setting.
- The descriptions of the natural surroundings put me right there. I could touch, smell, and hear it.
