I really enjoyed this book. I learned a lot about the Tucson area that I didn’t know, even though I’ve lived here seven years. I understand that the story is based on a true story.

Loved this book! And Sinclair Browning. I think what I love most is the author doesn't try to sugar coat or be politically correct about what goes on by the Arizona/Mexico border, but it adds to the flavor of the book. Plus, you are reading about the real Arizona, not some made up version. The mystery kept you going although it was more about the read as you made your way through the cast of characters and plot. You can bet I'll look up more books by Sinclair. The only thing I haven't figured out? How did they come up with the title??

Well, it was kinda fun. Trade's voice is more down-to-earth than a lot of the first person PI novels out there. She gets involved in this case because things don't quite add up and keeps following her nose. There's a bigger body count in this one than in most others, too.

January 7, 2016One of the best in this series in which the land and locale of southwestern Arizona in a character in and of itself to the characters and story. My only quibble is that Trade Ellis, cattle rancher and PI, has no love life, but yearns for it -- come on Browning bring a man into her life!

Read compulsorily, utterly hackneyed at points, utterly unbelievable at others.
