Small Towns Can Be Murder: A Girl and Her Dog Cozy Mystery
". . . quaint adobe enclaves hold tightly to their secrets. No matter how dirty." From that opening, the reader knows he or she is in for a treat in this, the fourth book in the Charlie Parker mystery series. . . . The first-person point of view gives this superbly crafted story a Mike Hammer feel, but from a woman's perspective. Small Towns Can Be Murder will motivate most readers to find and read the previous novels in this fascinating series. – Gothic Journal
Charlie and Sally Bertrand visit Sally's hometown of Valle Escondido, New Mexico. An unexplained series of miscarriages among the local women has the recently-pregnant Sally worried. She asks Charlie to look into the death of one of them. Meanwhile, Drake Langston is back, wanting a commitment from Charlie. But she isn't sure she is ready. NPR called it "A good story and a challenging puzzle."
"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. – Crime Time, Birmingham, England
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
“Another delicious read for the beach.” –The Pilot, Southern Pines, N.C.
