Reviews

Carefully crafted and thoroughly detailed, Tishy's second series title (after Jealous Heart, Dowling, 1997) places amateur sleuth Kate Banning in Nashville. Her new job leaves her enough time to investigate the background of an up-and-coming, part-Cherokee country singer rumored to have a violent, even murderous past. Kate interviews the man, questions his loquacious songwriting girlfriend, and looks for a flaw. All seems okay until the girlfriend disappears, leading Kate on a far-flung search for the truth. The author's emphasis on description and background impede the plot somewhat, but the Nashville setting and country music subject will appeal to many. For larger collections.

Kate Banning, a single mother, editor, and sleuth, has moved to Nashville, Tennessee, from Massachusetts. Phil Armstead, a record-company executive and fellow Yankee expatriate, asks Kate to investigate rumors that Troy Blackfeather, a promising Cherokee singer, has an unsavory past that won't play with mainstream country fans. Blackfeather seems to check out, but then his girlfriend disappears, and Banning must endure a criminal barrage that includes kidnapping, sabotage, and robbery. This second Kate Banning novel is a real treat, as Tishy combines believable characters with a lively view of country music and Nashville life. Kate compares favorably to other amateur female sleuths, including Triss Stein's Kay Engles and Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak. This little-known series from a small publisher deserves a much wider audience. John Rowen
