Praise for Death in a Cold Hard Light “An admirable, well-written series, with Folger evolving into an ever more complex character as love and loyalty collide with her professional pride and ethics.” —The Orlando Sentinel “Mathews writes appealingly, making her characters human, fallible, and thoughtful and her story line always believable. Essential for all mystery collections.” —Library Journal “Dark, taut, and unsettling . . . A nail-biting pace.” —Booklist “Atmospheric . . . Action-filled.” —Publishers Weekly
