"Reviewers and readers will draw parallels between Ault's enlightening, well-researched debut, set in northern New Mexico, and the mysteries of Tony Hillerman, Nevada Barr, and Aimee and David Thurlo; this is fine because she is that good." --Kirkus Reviews

"A writer with a flair for the outdoors, Ault deserves a large following." --Rocky Mountain News
