The Washington Post - Paula L. Woods

Muller, who was recently named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America for her 26 novels, shows with every chapter her control over the suspense form, whether it's bringing in Soledad County Sheriff's Deputy Rhoda Swift -- who works behind the scenes investigating current and past crimes -- or doling out information about the connections among characters in short, measured chapters that keep the reader engaged. And while some of the plot twists may not be totally surprising, readers will nonetheless be well entertained and might even learn something about water conservation. If so, that's a bonus in addition to the other joys of reading this smoothly told, engrossing yarn.
