Number Two In The Mac Fontana Series

While not really a brain teaser, Emerson writes a murder mystery set in Staircase, Washington, a small town featuring transplanted firefighter Mac Fontana with wit and aplomb. Not to dismiss the secondary characters, Emerson breathes life into each and every one. (I found my copy, autographed(!) in a second-hand bookstore in Seattle.)

Outstanding! The best in an exceptionally good series.

What can I say that would do justice to this book? I have a tendency to gush, but to do so is an insult to the character of Mac Fontana, as well as to the deceptively simple, highly evocative prose of Emerson. I am so hooked on this writer's work! When do I get my next fix???
