Jessica McClelland

A fourth generation Wyoming local, Jessica McClelland is a librarian, avid archer and spent a decade hunting dinosaurs in the Jurassic formation in the foothills of the Bighorn mountains, a stone's throw away from where the Johnson County Cattle Wars occurred. She is the author of the Marley Dearcorn novels, a series of murder mysteries set in South Central Montana.

You'll be compelled to race through North of the Crazies by Jessica McClelland's easy and addictive prose, but that means you'll lose the detail and the accuracy that make her a truly fine writer. Her knowledge of the contemporary West and her abilities as a storyteller makes her a welcomed addition to the new class of crime fiction authors.

Jessica McClelland's Snow at Midnight bursts out of the chute with a fresh new voice an authentic Montana sense of place, and a flawed but endearing protagonist readers will cheer for. Welcome aboard, Marley Dearcorn. - C.J. Box, New York Times bestselling author of Force of Nature.

Snow at Midnight highlights not just a murder, but the nuances of Western culture: the conflict between old ranchers and new money, the independent self-sufficiency that comes from living an hour down a dirt road from the nearest hospital, the power struggles, the endless sky arching from the jagged horizon. - The Daily Sentinel
