"Harrison takes her time resolving these criminal matters, allowing us to linger in Blue Deer long enough to learn its history, drink in the scenery and laugh at the kinds and quirks of its idiosyncratic residents. No wonder the world-weary Jules came running back home the first chance he got-the place is heaven." -The New York Times Book Review

"The third and best of Jamie Harrison's laconic Montana mystery novels . . . The people of Blue Deer are more than just a cast. They are a community." -Time
