My Review: I had missed the first book in the Prairie Nightingale series, Homemaker, when it came out last year. I have to confess that I probably bounced right off that title and didn’t look more deeply. (I REALLY don’t do domestic.) BUT, then I saw this tour, and did look more closely at the authors’ names and remembered that I loved both their books (

My Review: I didn’t so much pick this one up as reach out to the authors so I could make grabby hands at it. And I’m ever so grateful they obliged with both the book AND the audiobook. I fell hard for Prairie Nightingale’s compulsive nosiness and pattern disruption genius in the very first book, Homemaker, and was even more enthralled with her case in Trailbreaker. Part of what I loved about both books was the way that Prairie and her team were able to see both connections and especially disconnections in the evidence - AND in the places where there was a lack of evidence - because they were looking at entirely different things than any previous investigator had looked at.

My Review: I want to call Prairie Nightingale (and that really is the protagonist’s name and the story behind it explains SO MUCH about her character) a domestic goddess. But that’s not what she claims to be and that’s not what she really is. She’s calm on the surface and paddling like hell underneath just like everyone else - which we know because we’re inside her head.
