Laurie Loewenstein is the author of the best-selling novel, Unmentionables. An Ohio native, she currently lives in Columbia, Maryland.
The plot is compelling, the character development effective and the
setting carefully and accurately designed . . . I have lived in the
panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma; I know about wind and dust . . .
Combining a well created plot with an accurate, albeit imagined,
setting and characters that 'speak' clearly off of the page make
Death of a Rainmaker a pleasant adventure in reading.
-- "The Oklahoman"
The plot is solid in Death of a Rainmaker, but what makes
Loewenstein's novel so outstanding is the cast of characters she
has assembled . . . Death of a Rainmaker is a superb book, one that
sets the reader right down amid some of the hardest times our
country has faced, and lets us feel those hopeful farmers' despair
as they witness their dreams turning to dust.
-- "Mystery Scene Magazine"
This richly detailed historical mystery brings the Dust Bowl to
life, with the hardscrabble farms and semi-rural community barely
coping with the losses of farms and local businesses. This
evocative first volume in a new series should appeal to readers of
Larry D. Sweazy's 'Marjorie Trumaine' mysteries or Donis Casey's
Oklahoma-set 'Alafair Tucker' books. Fans of narrative nonfiction,
including Timothy Egan's The Worst Hard Time, the book that
inspired this work, may also want to give it a try.-- "Library
Journal, Starred Review, One of the Best Books of 2018 (Crime
Fiction)"
