1: A change of pace from the average police mystery
How is it a change of pace?
The detective is a happily married mom. She is not haunted by dark shadows. She is not alienated from religion, her family and her fellow man. She does not drink, she is not a "rogue cop on the edge." And, guess what? She gets the job done.
The story itself is fairly intricate and well-done. I feel that I really cannot even get into the any of the motivations of the bad guys for fear that I will inadvertently tip off the reader to larger plot issues. So, let's leave it at this is a pretty good story.
On another note, I was intrigued that the main character (Deb Ralston) is a Mormon. Although, I am not a Mormon it did strike me as odd that this is the first Mormon I've ran across as a main character in a book that I can remember. I wonder why? Its not like Mormons are rare.

2: Another fine book in a very good series.
I have read several of the Deb Ralston series books and liked all of them immensely. These are books wonderfully suitable for someone looking for a cross between a cosy and a more modern, realistic mystery. Deb is neither a superwoman, a burn-out, or a sweet little old lady; she is a wife and mother who handles her duties as a police officer in a matter of fact manner. I like the direct, no nonsense attitude she displays, but she is neither cold nor hostile, just refreshingly normal
