Summary: But It Can't End Like That!
Review: I have read all of these books in order. I was lucky enough to discover Jessica Speart when the first book first came out. I have seen the growth of this person and almost feel like I know her. Some people feel that her character is unrealistic... I for one do not because it is has so many things that my own life does.
Her friends are an eclectic collection of misfits much like my own. Rachel Porter is gutsy and gritty but also very real. I feel this is one of the best books in the series because it takes us to a greater depth of the side characters. I must say though, without giving anything away, the end caused me some remorse

Summary: Nevada Barr fan gives 5 stars
Review: In case you are a fan of Nevada Barr (like me) it may be helpful to know that I also enjoy this author. The main character is a bit pluckier than Anna Pigeon and the writing style is lighter and more humorous. Overall, I agree with Barr's quote. Speart breathes a different kind of life into environmental themed mysteries. Another good environmental mystery writer to check out is Skye Katherine Moody.

Summary: Another series for Nevada Barr Fans
Review: While not as well written as the Anna Pigeon series, Rachel Porter more than makes up for it with her bizarre friends. Her landlord the gay ex-wrestler, gourmet cook Vinnie, her transvestite doggie yamulke designing friend are only two of a cast of way out characters. In this novel Rachel stumbles onto an illegal paddlefish roe business, run by an overweight Russian mafiosi who thinks he's Elvis. But this is only a side line for him, his real business is the white slave trade.This is an entertaining and highly unrealistic novel. Good for an escape and alot of fun.
