Summary: Good read, with a few flaws
Review: Second McGarrity I've read, and enjoyed it, but not as much as Serpent's Gate. I love the South West, though I'm from Massachusetts, and he does a great job of describing the country, weather and people.Unfortunately, one little flaw bothered me through the entire book. When an estate is probated, the estate pays all the taxes when the estate tax forms are submitted, so the problem he manufactured over paying the taxes, just doesn't exist in real life. In other words, he had no tax problem. Tsk, tsk, I know I'm just a knitpicker. The bedroom scenes just did not ring true to me and while a little love interest is interesting, sexual tension is even more so.

Summary: Best Yet
Review: This is McGarrity's best! I would rate Tularosa as a four, good for a first book, but then he gets better with each subsequent book. His description of New Mexico is so accurate it takes me back to that wonderful state. His knowledge of police procedures mixed with his mastery of imagination, makes for a very interesting story. It was time that Kerney have more romance in his life, and he gets that as well as a couple of mysteries to solve. Great!! If you like J.A. Jance's Joanna Brady, then you will like McGarrity's Kerney.
