The first in a new series, told from the viewpoint of a woman over 50, on her own for the first time, introduces a complex story. Florio’s (“Lola Wick” series) suspenseful mystery will have readers rooting for amateur sleuth Nora.

Compelling, realistically flawed characters and a timely story line, especially in the wake of the protests at the Dakota Access Pipeline, make this one of Florio's hardest-hitting mysteries yet.

Gwen Florio | MYSTERY,  Feb 01, 2014

Florio succeeds with her second riveting Lola title (after Montana). Occasionally her character's knee-jerk reactions wear thin, but the hard-nosed feminine perspective is refreshing. For fans of Lori Armstrong and Craig Johnson.

Gwen Florio | MYSTERY,  Oct 01, 2013

Breathless pacing, strong characterizations, and a nuanced plot blend into an unforgettable read. With its strong sense of place and an intriguing ethnic character mix, consider for fans of Lori Armstrong, C.J. Box, and Wayne Arthurson. Florio is a veteran journalist, so she knows her stuff. [Dakota, the second volume in the series, is scheduled for a 2014 publication date.
