Readers' five-star reviews of Desert Jade: ~~An enjoyable and suspenseful book! Desert Jade is the first Letty Valdez mystery. It's a fast moving and richly textured book set in Tucson, Arizona. I was pulled in immediately by well crafted characters and fine descriptions of the southwest and local culture. ~~Daemon Waters is by far my favourite book in the Letty Valdez Mysteries series. There's a wonderfully tangled set of mysteries that get solved thread by thread; the characters bloom; the writing is so much more confident. There are a lot of chuckles in this one... a couple of gasps... and near the end, I was laughing out loud with a tear or two trickling down my face. I truly loved this one. ...An international mystery embroiled with the border between Mexico and Arizona and the Chinese underworld. Letty is nobody's fool and with her at the helm I found myself in anticipation of what happens next. I enjoyed the addition of a lifesaving rescue dog named Millie and a bit of romance thrown in. A wonderful first Letty Valdez mystery. |
