PANDEMIC PREDATOR: "Wow--good beginning, really jumps into the action. . . a wide-ranging, intriguing book."

SNAKE RIVER SECRET: "The structure of the book reminded me of the old Perry Mason novels, in which the legal staff itself is involved in the case personally. . . . Some very clever manipulation of clues, evidence, and trial procedure makes this a very good mystery."

DYING TO SKI: "(The)dialogues are brisk and realistic. A very intriguing premise. An excellent eye for physical details."

"This book is one of the few gems that you look for when you want a good read. Once you pick this book up, you simply can't put it down. ...." Margaret Lopez Erpenbeck, reviewing Pandemic Predator, a Mary MacIntosh novel.
