Trail of
Murder--
|
Christine Andreae's Edgar
Award-nominated first novel:
|
| "I thoroughly enjoyed Trail of
Murder, from its startling opening to a most satisfying conclusion. Christine Andreae
writes so vividly that I feel as though I've experienced a wilderness trip in Montana with
all those suspicious characters. Here is an outstanding new mystery talent to follow
eagerly." |
---PHYLLIS A. WHITNEY |
| "A spellbinding plot, a valiant
heroine, and a majestic setting make this debut hard to put down.... This treacherous
journey offers thrills to armchair adventurers and wilderness buffs as well as mystery
fans." |
---PUBLISHERS
WEEKLY (STARRED REVIEW)
|
| "A pretty good ride ... Ms. Andreae
finds her voice for some bracing descriptions of the Rocky Mountain back country that
straddles the Continental Divide. Her clean prose suits the surroundings." |
---NEW YORK TIMES BOOK
REVIEW
|
| "Take note of Christine Andreae
and Trail of Murder, which is almost too good to be a first effort." |
---WASHINGTON
TIMES
|
| After half an hour, an hour, we
bumped into the mules. I remember thinking seriously about the smoked turkey in my
saddlebag, so it must have been close to lunchtime. We had descended into a ragged pine
forest. Under the dripping black canopy, the light was purplish. Half of the trees were
dead, bark-less, and staggering between the upright pink brown trunks like drunken guests
at a party. The drop-off was still precarious in places, but the trail had widened and
there was no longer the sensation that the bank against your shoulder might breathe and,
in expanding, nudge you and your wretched, wet horse off the edge. Now, among the fir and
pine, our uphill side allowed us twenty-, thirty-foot margins strewn with rocks and
downfall, both as gray as driftwood. These green shelves seemed as open as beaches. We
relaxed. That was mistake number one. |

Grizzly
|
| "Christine Andreae writes about
Montana's wilderness with the grace and sensitivity of a poet. Grizzly blends mystery with
ecology, then wrenches us with the dwindling of Earth's less-cuddly species-both ursine
and human. |
---Margaret Maron,
Edgar Award Winning Author of
Southern Discomfort
|
| "Andreae's appreciation of the region,
knowledge of the wildlife and habitat, and impressive skill at cooking all make this rich
reading." |
---Minneapolis Star
Tribune
|
| Andreae subtly mixes contemporary American
and Japanese mores, Native American culture., modern media and the clash between
environmentalists and ranchers in creating the witty and sneaky red herrings of her
plot...strong and worth reading." |
|
|
A Small
Target
|
| Filled with wilderness awareness, Native
American cultural advocacy and bad guys who tote historical baggage...Some suspenseful
moments and well-drawn, complex relationships provide high points... |
Publisher's Weekly,
August 26, 1996
|
| "Christine Andreae proves that her
Edgar nomination was no fluke. Montana's high wilderness flowers under her poetic touch
and this latest Lee Squires adventure blends high-minded ecology with pragmatic humor.
Stick this one in your trail pack." |
