"Engaging... Craddock is a slightly more cerebral version of the
late Bill Crider's rural sheriff Dan Rhodes, but they share a
bloodline." --Booklist PRAISE FOR THE SAMUEL CRADDOCK MYSTERIES
"There may be no protagonist in our genre today as decently
compelling as Samuel Craddock.
And there may be no better chronicler of the character and
complexity
of small-town America than Terry Shames."
--WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER, author of the Cork O'Connor novels
"Small towns in mysteries can be too cute or too weird to be true,
but Jarrett Creek is the real deal and Samuel Craddock is the jewel
in its crown. Flawed, complex, decent, and captivating--spending
time in this town with the chief is a delight." --CATRIONA
McPHERSON, author of Quiet Neighbors
"I love Samuel Craddock, I love this town, and I love this series
of books."
--TIMOTHY HALLINAN, author of the Junior Bender mysteries
