Should be a movie Never give a book 5 stars—saved for very outstanding classics, but in the mystery genre, this one comes close. A well-plotted mystery with believable characters. I’ll look for more from this author.

She’s not offbeat Thought book would include offbeat places but it does not. From living in NM, I could think of many that were missed—probably a good thing. Keep tourists away!
