From Booklist
Jolie Wyatt, KSGE radio reporter, wife, and mother, is back in her fifth cozy set in Purple Sage, Texas. During a flood that ravages the small town, a respected local citizen is found wedged in a tree, the body half in a swollen creek. Deep affection for the victim propels Jolie to investigate the death (and disprove the rumors of suicide, which in a small fundamentalist community like Purple Sage could cause the shunning of the victim and his family). The mystery is secondary here to the interlocking relationships of families and friends in the close-knit community, all of which is described in an appealing conversational style by the fiercely independent, highly sympathetic narrator, Jolie, who also takes time to discuss her own personal travails brought on by her beloved father's death and her mother's seemingly uncaring attitude toward her. Reminiscent of Susan Wittig Albert's China Bayles series, in which China also has a strained relationship with her mother. Sue O'Brien

From Publishers Weekly
Amateur sleuth Jolie Wyatt has her hands full with another round of suspicious deaths in her fifth down-homey whodunit, Barbara Burnett Smith's Skeletons in Purple Sage. It's monsoon season in the small Texas town, and the mysterious drowning death of a local doctor and the disappearance of a young and somewhat unpleasant wife have Jolie juggling investigative duties, interpersonal politics and complex family dramas, all with her characteristic wit and aplomb.
