My favorite mystery writer, and the favorite of several others I have run into. Her books often have an unusually high emotional content, and are frequently unusual in concept. Her Who Rides a Tiger/Sow the Wind is most certainly a masterpiece; it reads like more of a heartbreaking romance novel, but packs a punch at the end - especially if you read it in hardback without looking at information on the dust jacket first. The paperbacks all give away too much on the covers or preview pages. Method in Madness(Quiet Violence) is certainly a masterpiece as well, as are Mrs. Meeker's Money, Dark Road, Night of Clear Choice/Flame of Evil, The Departure of Mr. Gaudette (Fateful Departure), and about half a dozen others. No Next of Kin has the most heartbreaking first chapter I have ever read, and is one of her best as well. DMD, in my opinion, is in a class by herself! Julia Brandner, March 8, 2013
