An Enjoyable Romp

This enjoyable romp through Arizona introduces you to colorful characters as Browning tracks her way through drug-dealing territory and an Hispanic grandmother who refuses to give up on her jail-bound grandson. The protagonist, Trade Ellis, tells the story in a pleasant voice. She's a strong, vibrant character. I admired the ending of the novel because the action was credible rather than overdone: the details had been carefully set up along the way. I do think the novel was too long; we get too much of the protagonist having lunch, etc.

A Terrific Trade

Browing is putting together a terrific series with this cowgirl/sleuth. I've read all of her books, and I eagerly wait for the new one each year. Tucson is handled perfectly. I've also heard Browning speak at Left Coast Crime and Bouchercon. She is a fascinating woman, as are her books. She and this series deserves wider recognition. Read Crack Shot as soon as you can.
