A Death in Dulcinea

Review

from Library Journal, Nov. 1, 2005.

"A fanciful small-town setting, titillating subplots, and humorous dialog make this a winner for all collections."

The ranch is a world away from the drugs and gangs of Houston, but even on his own turf, John Suarez can't shake the image of the dead child. In the darkness of the bedroom, Ranita Hunter reaches for the phone futilely praying the caller is her husband. Her hello is met by silence, and Ranita is becoming uncomfortably familiar with the caller who never speaks.

Murder throws John back into police work and into the company of the woman he spent fifteen years avoiding, but Ranita needs his help, whether she wants it or not.

Letters threatening Ranita and her family begin to arrive and while John races to discover the identity of the stalker, the threat grows to real danger. Even running home to Daddy can't save Ranita and her children from the killer.

Apologies from Laramee:

Dear Readers,

I too would rather curl up on the sofa with a paperback or prop a hardback in my bookstand. Alas, the print version of Dancing at the Shoulder of the Bull is out-of-print. However, Alligator Tree Press and I offer a less ergonomic yet more financially attractive edition in this ebook. Click below to download the 952K Adobe Acrobat version.

I hope you enjoy meeting John Suarez.

and personal tensions;
recommended."

"The mysterious side to the novel

functions well,
with Douglas creating various motives and
interesting ideas."
