BARNES, LINDA Snapshot
St. Martin's Minotaur, 2005. (ISBN: 0312932677) Mass Market Paperback , 6.5 x 4.1 x 1.1 inches. Review SNAPSHOT "SNAPSHOT is destined to secure Barnes' position in the hotshot ranks of detective fiction." -Arizona Republic COYOTE "Like the best of the new detectives..[Carlotta Carlyle] is a woman of wit and gravity, compassion and toughness, a heroine worth spending time with.. [Those of us] who yearn for whodunits with character as well wrought as plot, can only thank Linda Barnes."-The New York Times Book Review "Linda Barnes is once again brilliant. Coyote is damned good."-Robert B. Parker "Carlotta Carlyle is better than ever and Coyote is the perfect vehicle."-Sue Grafton "Linda Barnes has another winner in Coyote..a great, only-in-Boston climax."-Jeremiah Healy "The most refreshing, creative female character to hit mystery fiction since Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone..the other first ladies of crime better watch their backs."-People "Her first person prose is well-honed, and her touch is sure enough to float her fast-paced narrative while still allowing for sharp development of an intriguing cast of characters..best of all, Barnes can turn a phrase well enough to make even Paretsky and Grafton jealous." -Houston Chronicle DEEP POCKETS "[There's] plenty to keep a reader chasing after the delightful Carlyle while she chases after the bad guys."-Entertainment Weekly "Barnes weaves an intricate web with a pleasingly poisonous spider at its center..Barnes makes superb use of the town-grown tensions..the twists and turns in this nail-biter are at once startling without ever becoming absurd."-Publishers Weekly "With Deep Pockets, Barnes locks in her position as one of the foremost practitioners of middle-of-the-road, character-based mystery..I suppose I could have put it down. But I didn't want to."-Orson Scott Card , Very Good.
