Review
"I love the characters here, and the descriptions make the scenes jump off the page. When you read a book and the scenes unroll in front of you like a movie, then you know it's something good." - Elaine Joyce, author of Dead Men Do Tell Tales
"Looks at right and wrong in a new way!" - J.L. Greger, author of Riddled with Clues
About the Author
Editorial Reviews: Readers of D.R. Ransdell’s Mariachi Murders have no doubt been waiting for the second installment in her series of Andy Veracruz mysteries. With the publication of her latest work,Island Casualty, she doesn’t disappoint. In the newest installment, Veracruz finds himself again “neck deep” in mystery and intrigue on the Greek island of Amiros. Weaving crisp dialogue and artfully descriptive detail in with fast moving, shadowy narrative, Ransdell carries the reader along in another enjoyable read. -- John Paddison, author of China Photos and Reflections === Island Casualty starts out as typical murder mystery set in the Dodecanese Islands. The setting is described with artistic flare; the characters are three-dimensional; and the plot has plenty of twists and turns. Then slowly the plot turns into a morality play and the protagonist Andy Veracuz as “Everyman.” The net result is the reader has to look at right and wrong in a new way and in the process learns a lot about Greek culture and perhaps herself. --J. L. Greger, author of Ignore the Pain === In Island Casualty, the second Andy Veracruz mystery, Andy accepts the invitation of a friend who is working at a taverna on a Greek island. He’s hoping Rachel can help him forget the one he could not save, but life on a small island is much different from life in Squid Bay. Instead of a relaxing vacation, Andy finds secret engagements and crazy wives. As the savior of everyone except himself, Andy is soon involved in it all, but justice is not always black and white. I love the characters here, and the descriptions make the scenes jump off the page. When you read a book and the scenes unroll in front of you like a movie, then you know it’s something good. Elaine Joyce, author of Dead Men Do Tell Tales
