Selection Librarians will want to check in to Hoodoo by Susan Cummins Miller. It has not been reviewed prepub and is therefore not owned widely (even though the author's earlier works are). ""Miller, who holds degrees in history, anthropology, and geology, and a M.S. in Geology, is a favorite with me and will appeal to readers of Sarah Andrews and Nevada Barra and Sandi Ault as well as Michael McGarrity and Elizabeth Gunn. And in Hoodoo, Tony Hillerman."" --Lorri Amsden ""Geologist turned writer Susan Cummins Miller is carving out a distinguished niche with her Frankie Macfarlane mystery series [...] compelling puzzle mysteries."" --Dee Ann Ray ""As a western whodunit, Hoodoo excels at drawing ""circles within circles"" as MacFarlane deciphers who killed whom and why."" --The Tombstone Epitaph ""Miller draws parallels between Arizona's Massai Point linked to the Apaches and Africa's Masaii tribe to form an unusual, imaginative spine for the story."" --Barabara Peters ""...Susan Miller has created a group of interesting, fully realized characters, as well as concocted an intriguing mystery, one not easily guessed. She's also used the Arizona countryside to excellent effect. Margaret Coel, look out. Miller is hot on your trail."" --CKC, Roudup Magazine. Dec. 2008
