Customer Reviews

A Book for anyone who loves the cowboy life

Slickrock is the first Laura Crum book I've read, and I will definitely read more. The characters remind anyone whose ever met a cowboy about their way of life. I love the independence that the main character shows. This is definitely the book for all horse lovers out there.

What do you mean I can't give it 6 stars!

I've published a number of stories myself and If I could write this well, I'd die happy. This book is absolutely first-rate, with a fascinating main character, marvelous use of the language, a tremendous setting, and an interesting mystery. I collect first editions and it's off to the auction site to start collecting Laura Crum's. This could be the best book of the year!

The best book yet by Laura Crum

I discovered Laura Crum by accident and have read all her books. This new one is the best yet! The mystery is interesting and believeable right to the surprising twist at the end. A great read, especially for those who like horses and the high sierras.

Praise from Publishers Weekly

"Crum spins a solidly built story that pits the independent and savvy woman against the heedless natural world and some nasty humans.... Some finely drawn portraits, a tight plot that keeps its secrets until the end and a spectacular assist from Mother Nature make for memorable reading." Publishers Weekly
