Customer Reviews

Fantastic book!

Superb book from beginning to end... loved the ending. Looking forward to reading The Dead Stone for sure. : )

Just Loved the Book!

My book club picked this novel because we thought the description of the title character was unusual. We read a lot of mysteries and thrillers. The book really lived up to expectations. I loved that it was a fast read, but I also found the characters very compelling. The book was clever and unusual, something we don't see all that much. We were all totally surprised by the ending. I can't wait for the next in the series.

Great read!

I found this book in on a trip to Las Vegas. I'd never heard of the author, but I loved this book. It's a fast, exciting read, plus I loved the main character, Tally. She's a homicide counselor - a profession I had never heard of. I liked all the characters, including Penny, the Canine Corps dog. And the plot was excellent. I hope there's another Tally mystery coming! Great job!

Compassion and horror

I have to admit I don't often read horror, but Tally Whyte is a compassionate, exuberant, and human protagonist who can take you through the pages and make you wait for the next book. I loved learning about the gritty world of a homicide grief counselor and I think it's one of the more unique professions I've come across in a mystery.

Body Parts is a page turner

Vicki Stiefel spins a real thriller here. The story is full of sudden turns, startling events, shock, surprise, tension, danger. There's a totally unexpected explanation for everything that happens -- and it all fits together beautifully.I loved the Boston setting, I loved Tally, and I loved the writing. Five stars, at least.
