Review:

“[Haskell is] intelligent, unpretentious, efficient and very, very likeable.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Susan Dunlap is the leading proponent of gutsy, nontraditional women who nimbly tread in he-man territory.” —The Washington Times “As long as writers like Dunlap continue to play with the form, genre fans need not lament the mystery’s demise.” —San Francisco Chronicle
