"McLinn ""fills her books with distinguishable characters, humor and quite complicated mysteries. Her prose reads easily and maintains a brisk tempo. ... If smart storytelling coupled with believable characters and intelligent humor works for you, I highly recommend your starting this series with book one [and] working your way through to the latest book in the series."" -- Amazon 5-star review ""I have read all of the Caught Dead in Wyoming series.each one is fresh. ... McLinn has been able to make each book unique while keeping the characters and situations new and unusual. This is for you Ms. McLinn. You get 100 on this series. While I have never lived in Wyoming, I have crossed the Rockies there many times. You have made them real to me again."" -- Apple 5-star review ""The characters, especially the main, recurring ones, are exceptionally well drawn, consistent and interesting. The stories are fascinating and Ms. McLinn understands what it's like to be in TV news and a reporter who investigates things. And she clearly knows what it's like to come from a big city and wind up in a much smaller community. I spent more than 40 years in the news business, most of it in print but also working in television and reading this series has been an absolute delight."" -- Amazon 5-star review ""I love these books - the characters are like good friends! The stories are fun and unpredictable, the writing is clever and I'm sorry when there no more pages left to read. I do not read a lot of fiction, but these move to the top of my book pile as soon as they are released."" -- Amazon 5-star review ""This series has me hooked! The character development over several books has been amazing. The local color and setting is refreshing. The plot twists and turns keep me turning the pages. This is a great series and Hot Roll is a great book. Highly recommended and can't wait for the next one!"" -- Amazon 5-star review"
