" -- Publishers Weekly "''Blind Search'' reads like a treatise on how to craft a thriller bursting at the seams with converging subplots without ever moving us to throw up our hands in exasperation. Indeed, we''re too busy using our fingers to turn the pages." --John Land for Providence Journal Praise for A Borrowing of Bones : "Munier''s perfectly paced tale crackles with fast-paced dialogue and elegant descriptions that would make the likes of John Hart and James Lee Burke proud. But it''s her writing about animals, dogs in particular, that truly sparkles and distinguishes her from the pack." --Jon Land, Booktrib "Comparisons may be made between Munier''s debut mystery and Margaret Mizushima''s Timber Creek K-9 mysteries.
