Can Be Murder
"A solid, enjoyable mystery. . . The conclusion is a shocker, and the book kept me
guessing almost until the end. I'll be looking forward to the next book
in the series."
Jeri Wright
“A good story and a challenging puzzle.”
Robert O. Greer,
National Public Radio
"Three plot strands are capably and grippingly entwined, and Shelton
doesn't shirk from confronting big issues – spousal abuse, gun control –
while keeping us deftly entertained with an enjoyable and resourceful
character. Soft, but with a hard center. Or vice versa."
