Definitely worth a read

I've read Gravestone and Bloodstream by this author--both are excellent mysteries. The heroine, Marty Hopkins, has to constantly work at getting the assignments she wants due to a protective sheriff. She also has struggles in her personal life to overcome--and this struggle--with a loser husband more interested in chasing dreams than in being a good husband, make the book a 5 rating. Marty must juggle raising her child, dealing with her wayward husband, solving the mystery, convincing the sheriff she is capable and surviving. The characters are real and interesting, even the mysterious professor who drops occassional clues before running of on "field trips" to study limestone formations.
