Great historical murder mystery: Review !

Great review on Amazon for my first novel:

“Coeur d’Alene Waters is a murder mystery that rises above the genre with language that is simultaneously lyrical and hard-nosed…. an engaging story… This work of literary fiction has the tautness and complexity of the best of crime dramas.”
