Summary: A True Page Turner!
Review: After eagerly awaiting the 5th in the series of psychic P.I. Elizabeth Chase I was not disappointed. Elizabeth is called in on the case of a missing four year old child. Soon a wildfire breaks out in the community where the boy and his family live and also Elizabeth's parents. It becomes a race against time to find the boy who Elizabeth feels is still alive and to find out who is setting the wild fires. Elizabeth must call on her psychic abilities and her detecting skills to get to the boy, and a killer before he strikes again. Intriguing from beginning to end I eagerly await the 6th in the series from Ms. Lawrence.

Summary: ...Excellent!!......
Review: As usual, Martha Lawrence has written a winner! Her main character, (Elizabeth Chase), is so strong yet kind....deeply human and vulnerable, that you can't help but love her from the first few pages on. You follow her through her investigation, admiring her abilities in some situations and fearing for her in others. Martha's attention to detail makes you feel like you're there, yet her descriptions are accurate, pointed, and never long and boring. This book kept my undivided attention from cover to cover....I had a hard time putting it down! Great job Martha!!

Summary: Lawrence's finest, strongest effort yet!
Review: Ashes of Aries is a paranormal mystery thriller that will not disappoint!Lawrence's writing in this, her fifth novel in the Elizabeth Chase mystery series, is literally as smooth as butter. She presents the story in such a manner that it captivates you and you're not aware of any stylistic maneuvers, a sure sign of a pro at work! Elizabeth Chase continues her growth at all levels of life: emotional, spiritual, psychological, and physical. The characters are vivid and true to life, once again with that dead-on-target dialogue for which Martha Lawrence has got to become famous! (After all, none other than authorial luminary Sue Grafton said to reserve a spot for Lawrence on the best seller list!) I took "Ashes" with me to read while I waited on a brake job. This story had me so addicted that after I left the garage I kept it beside me on the front seat, and when traffic was backed up and I had to wait at red lights I would read! I got home and hurriedly finished the book, and I have to say it's even stronger than her previous efforts, a thoroughly pleasing read and a wonderful escape! Once again Lawrence handles the tricky psychic angle with honesty and without dogma and "too pat" answers. (Being a professional psychic myself, I'm somewhat of an authority on that subject!) I can't recommend "Ashes" highly enough, and I can't wait for the sixth in the series!! Excelsior, my friend! John.

Summary: A believable psychic investigator
Review: Elizabeth Chase seems like the most down-to-earth person, someone I can identify with even thougth she works in the realm of the paranormal. A page-turner with insight and a great deal of soul

Summary: Not Her Best
Review: I completely enjoyed this series so far but, although this one is very readable, it never got off the ground for me. I would have preferred more about the kidnapping and much less about the fires. Kind of a lazy effort, I thought, particularly the ending which had me shaking my head in disappointment. Hope the next one is better.

Summary: EXTRAORDINARY TALENT
Review: Once you start reading one of Martha's books you will not be able to put it down. She is one of the most engaging mystery writer I have read in a very long time. I own all 5 of her books and am looking forward to the next one. She writes about places she knows and you almost feel like you are there with her. She makes Elizabeth Chase seem like someone you would trust if you ever needed a P.I. Now she needs a new romance in her life. She has the wit and charm of a warm, loving woman while also being very self reliant.
