After the murderous rigors of her Ph.D. field research, Frankie MacFarlane is happy to be settling down in her native Tucson, house-sitting the family home and teaching geology at Foothills Community College. Little does she imagine that a brief fishing trip to Mexico with her brother Jamie and his girlfriend, Carla, could entangle her in a string of murder, mythology, and international intrigue. Nonetheless, Frankie responds in true form. Noticing every nuance of her surroundings, both natural and manmade, Frankie skids through a heart-stopping and unforgettable chase from the Sea of Cortez to Tucson’s Sabino Canyon.

About the Author
Susan Cummins Miller worked as a field geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and taught geology and oceanography before turning to writing. She is a research affiliate and SIROW Scholar with the University of Arizona’s Southwest Institute for Research on Women, and the editor of A Sweet, Separate Intimacy: Women Writers of the American Frontier, 1800–1922 (TTUP). Hoodoo is her fourth Frankie MacFarlane mystery.
From Booklist
Tucson geologist Frankie MacFarlane returns in this absorbing story--her second adventure. This time Frankie, her brother Jamie, and Jamie's girlfriend, Carla, are detained by the Mexican authorities at the U.S.-Mexican border when they try to return home after discovering a body while on a fishing trip. While they are being questioned, Carla disappears. Frankie is barely home when one of her geology students is murdered on campus. Frankie and her old friend Philo help police officer Toni Navarro investigate this crime--which is followed by several other murders. Is Carla's disappearance related to these crimes? Well-developed characters, a lyrically drawn sense of place, a budding romance, and the importance of family and friends distinguish this mystery series. Readers who enjoy the geology-framed story may find Sarah Andrews' series with geologist Em Hansen of interest. Sue O'Brien
