Product Description
Shadow Dancer Was Readying Her Hogan For A Healing Ceremony -- and Her Own Terrible Death....
And the beautiful cosmic healer, nee Bridget McCree, had not been dead long when her neighbor Shirley McClintock found her viciously mutilated body.
Was the murder the work of extraterrestrials, as recent cattle mutilations in the Santa Fe area are believed to be? Shirley's investigation into Shadow Dancer's torrid romances and tangled family affairs suggests more traditional motivations: greed, lust, and envy.
So after a second sordid killing and sly rumors that Shirley and her family are somehow involved in both crimes, she goes on the warpath: straight toward the unexpected truth and a head-on confrontation with Shadow Dancer's murderous last client...

4.0 out of 5 stars
heroic in her sunset,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ceremonial Death (Mass Market Paperback)
If you cringe at unproven stereotypes and don't want to be alone, then it's time you bunked ( or is it debunked ) with Shirley McClintock. She is the golden (or is it silver) west of the '90's. Trailblazing a path that has taken her beyond
the trite well paved platitudes of old age, she still rides tall in the saddle. Oliphant's mystery series revolves around Ms.McClintock, and it had better be nimble or it will be left in the dust. While Oliphant plots an early and well thought out murder, Shirley is busy living another day infuriating and amusing herself with other people's stupidity. May she never retire or growup into youthful apathy. An original in fiction, I have a feeling there are many more real Shirleys in them thar hills. The plots are nearly as sound and interesting and fiery as Shirley-you can take her or leave her- I'll take her
