Superb Sedona!
Superb first mystery from the author, with an intriguing cast of characters whose multiple layers of interaction enrich and deepen the reader’s interest. But the real protagonist is Sedona itself, whose character and role in the unfolding narrative are never far from the surface. An excellent, well-written first effort in what promises to be a string of subsequent thrillers. —DL
