Margaret Maron recommends
Grizzly
Grizzly (1994)
Christine Andreae
"Christine Andreae writes about Montana's wilderness with the grace and sensitivity of a poet. Grizzly blends mystery with ecology, then wrenches us with the dwindling of Earth's less-cuddly species-both ursine and human."
The Queen is Dead
The Queen is Dead (1994)
(Jocelyn O'Roarke, book 5)
Jane Dentinger
"Reader's who have missed Ngaio Marsh's theatre mysteries can stop mourning."
The Death We Share (1995)
(Patricia Delaney, book 3)
Sharon Short
"Hercule Poirot, Private Inquiry Agent, used to boast of his 'leetle gray cells.' Patricia Delaney, Investigative Consultant, uses the electronic bytes in her 'little gray box' to solve her cases with equal efficiency and flair. But computers never replace compassion and it's a pleasure to watch Delaney at work."
Fire and Fog
Fire and Fog (1996)
(Fremont Jones)
Dianne Day
"Fans of Elizabeth Peters or Anne Perry should love Dianne Day's new turn-of-the-century female sleuth."
Whose Death is It, Anyway?
Whose Death is It, Anyway? (1996)
(Peaches Dann, book 4)
Elizabeth Daniels Squire
"Peaches Dann is one peach of a sleuth!"
Death in Little Tokoyo
Death in Little Tokoyo (1996)
(Ken Tanaka, book 1)
Dale Furutani
"The premise for Death in Little Tokyo is that mystery enthusiast Ken Tanaka belongs to the L.A. Mystery Club and he's setting up a role-playing mystery for the group, in which he plays a hard-boiled P.I. When a beautiful woman hires him as a go-between, he immediately assumes someone is playing a joke. Unfortunately, the murder that follows is no joke. Good local color and interesting details about modern Japanese-American customs and rituals."
