A Clinic for Murder

Samantha Turner goes to a medical examiners' conference in San Diego. In the middle of a lecture, a doctor falls over and dies -- but not before whispering to Sam that he's been murdered. When her investigation lands her in jail, Derek bails her out. Derek is the last person Sam wants to see, and the secret she's been keeping from him is exposed. Praise for The Samantha Turner Mysteries: "A surprisingly successful attempt to compete with Patricia Cornwell. Sam Turner's first case leaves you hungry for more." -- Kirkus Reviews "Samantha Turner's second appearance [is] worth watching for." -- Publishers Weekly "Marsha Landreth has created a heroine who is intelligent, beautiful, compassionate and gutsy." -- William Hjortsberg, author of FALLING ANGEL Landreth's Samantha Turner reminds me in so many ways of Walt in the best selling Walt Longmire series created by Craig Johnson. It has the same dry wit and adventure and it is placed in the same far away landscape. Landreth however may have created this niche genre as she has been writing for a while. If you understand, or want to understand the culture of the contemporary West, you will find yourself engrossed in this lovely little mystery and perhaps long for the simple life of a cowtown. - Orchardwrangler
