Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: What a wonderful imagination Beth Hilgartner has! . I was totally immersed in the world she has created. Her characters are super; the plot kept me on the edge of my chair. What a good read! When will the next one be out, Beth?

Summary: The ultimate culmination of three great books
Review: With "A Business of Ferrets" Beth Hilgartner has created a tale (or the beginning of an epic if she continues the series) that is a riveting cat and mouse chase of good vs. evil and weak vs. strong. An Empire in turmoil, a Emperor good and honorable in a time of need, and a world devoid of honor. It will take the lowest members of society to sacrifice all and stand against the power hungry and selfish. Good shall reign once more, the strong shall fall by the weak, and Children shall lead them."A Business of Ferrets" is the ultimate culmination of Mrs. Hilgartner's previous books. The deep friendship and character development from "A Murder for Her Majesty" is present and magnified. The chess like maneuvering of corrupt political/religious leaders from books like "Colors in a Dreamweavers Loom" & "A Murder for Her Majesty" is organized into an addictive and unpredictable plot here in "A Business of Ferrets". Finally the rich psychological questioning of self-being, purpose & relationships that was found in "Feast of The Trickster" is more relevant and better used in the latest book. "A Business of Ferrets" is a high watermark for Mrs. Hilgartner and a must read for anyone who loves a great character driven story. My only complaint is to Meisha Merlin & the lack of a hardback copy!
