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 - THE BIG DIG - "Pure pleasure."-Kirkus Reviews - "A true page-turner..nobody knows Boston like Linda Barnes's red-haired private investigator Carlotta Carlyle..Barnes's knack for crisp, snappy dialogue, and devising a mystery that has both timeless and contemporary appeal is a winner."-Boston Herald - "Barnes grabs the detective genre by the throat but rarely lets style overtake substance. The plot is thick and original and sure to surprise."-Washington Times - "Carlotta Carlyle combines the sensitivity of Robert Parker's Spenser with the stubbornness of Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski and she's rapidly carving out a place of her own."-Chicago Tribune - "A shrewd piece of writing, well researched and smartly told."-Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review - "Carlotta is an engaging narrator with a brisk, easygoing style..a worthy competitor in the private eye business."-The Washington Post - THE SNAKE TATTOO - "A rivetingly well-told story."-Publishers Weekly - "Barnes' crisp writing and winsome cab-driving detective make this a smooth ride from start to stop.. Carlyle earns rave reviews and a plea for encores."-Cincinnati Post - "Move over Spenser, make permanent room on the streets of Boston for another sleuth who's big (six feet one), strong and tough as nails but soft at the core."-Entertainment Weekly - "It's always a pleasure to spend time with this zesty detective.. Carlotta has class and spirit to spare." - -Baltimore Sun , Very Good.
