[McGarrity's] portrait of [New Mexico] is a strong one, built on meticulously detailed intelligence gathered, sifted and analyzed for unspoken secrets and lies by the author's own deeply cunning mind. -- Marilyn Stasio - New York Times
With each succeeding mystery, McGarrity is ever more sure of his central character, Kerney. Richly textured in setting and character, this series gets better with each outing. -- Dallas Times Herald
An ex-cop, McGarrity knows what he's writing about-and how to write it. -- Tony Hillerman
