Summary: An excellent mystery with characters you care about
Review: A fine read of a book about a woman living in the hill country of Texas who is forced into a situation where she has to rattle a few skeletons in the old family closet. As a Texan, I especially enjoyed recognizing all the hill country locales. The story is quite skillfully constructed and thoroughly grips the reader from start to finish. The main character is well conceived and is someone you come to like. I strongly recommend.

Summary: "Zero At The Bone" Moved Too Slow!
Review: I admit, I might be getting too critical when it comes to mystery novels lately. But I have read so many that I start to know what a really good mystery novel is and which ones are not. "Zero At The Bone" was the first novel that I have read by Mrs. Walker. Don't get me wrong, the book wasn't bad at all, but the plot moved quite slowly and there was not much suspense. Most of the novel described in great detail the tasks and obligations that a zookeeper must go through. How to clean the cage, sweep the floor, feed the animals, take the snake out of his cage, and on and on. If you work at a zoo, you'll love this book I guarantee it! Although, the characters were well developed and likeable, I wouldn't put this book on my "must read list" at all. Not bad Mrs. Walker!Brad Stonecipher

Review: I really enjoyed Zero at the Bone. You never knew where the plot turns were going to take you. It is rare to find a mystery novel that leaves you guessing until the end. I found it a great read along with Mary Willis Walker's other books. I just wish she would write another one soon.

Review: I thought this book was great. I found out about it from another author. She said it was good & it was. Hard to put down. You want to keep going so that you can find out who the killer is. very well written.

Summary: A Wonderful Mystery
Review: Katherine Driscoll takes a job at the zoo where her estranged father worked and was murdered. Almost everyone she meets could be the murderer. When her life is threatened her investigation takes on an urgency. Plenty of action, a little romance and a humdinger of an ending. Mary Willis Walker just gets better and better

Summary: This book is from an award-winnning writer?!
Review: This was a most dissapointing book. Ms. Willis Walker has managed to do the impposible, which was to take an interesting heroine like Katherine Driscoll, surround her with promising, yet underutilized characters, and a lousy story that is no better that a Susan Lucci TV Movie of the Week on the Lifetime Channel. Pick up this snoozer at the library!
