Denise Hamilton recommends
The Belen Hitch
The Belen Hitch (2005)
(Sasha Solomon, book 2)
Pari Noskin Taichert
"With its sly humor, offbeat characters, and endearing sleuth, The Belen Hitch takes us on a vivid journey through New Mexico's culture, food, art, and landscape in search of a killer. As PR expert Sasha Solomon investigates the murder of a controversial artist--think sacrilegious Georgia O'Keeffe--she must also deal with the aftermath of her mother's stroke, a new beau, a cranky detective, forty-year-old secrets, and ghosts that won't stay dead. Taichert infuses her new mystery with such humanity and warmth that you'll come away glowing."
Literacy and Longing in L.A.
Literacy and Longing in L.A. (2006)
Jennifer Kaufman and Karen Mack
"A wonderful story that completely won me over - insecure bookish Dora will appeal to anyone who has ever found solace or inspiration in reading. This is chick lit for bookworms, at times breezy, sexy, profound..."
Ghosttown
Ghosttown (2007)
(Whitney Logan Mystery, book 3)
Mercedes Lambert
"Lambert's Los Angeles is a wickedly funny, noir, edgy, grifty, politically incorrect Ellis Island West where Crash meets Day of the Locust with a little David Lynch thrown in. Lambert is a natural writer with a unique ear for LA argot, neighborhoods and characters. Anyone who loves contemporary noir and dark crime fiction should read the Dogtown Trilogy. You owe it to yourself."
