San Celina, California native Benni Harper is curator of the Josiah Sinclair Folk Art Museum and Artist's Co-op. Her spouse of nine months, Gabe Ortiz is the local chief of police. The couple are looking forward to a blissful day at the annual Ramsey day after Thanksgiving barbecue. When Wade Harper, brother of her deceased first husband, suddenly appears, Benni is flooded with memories of the man she once loved. Gabe is unhappy with Wade's appearance because he does not trust him and is jealous of the shared memories of a ghost that he feels he cannot compete against.
However, all the personal feelings are placed on hold when one of the local artists is murdered on Ramsey property just hours after a fiery incident involving Wade. When the victim's boy friend is also killed, the sheriff considers Wade as the prime suspect. In spite of Gabe's misgivings, Benni begins to investigate the double murders so that she can keep Wade free and she can close the book on her past. What she has not yet learned is that she has placed her own life in great peril.
DOVE IN THE WINDOW is a first rate relationship drama that is wrapped inside an intriguing who-done-it. Earlene Fowler pays as much detail to Benni's relationships and mental state as she does to the crime drama. This dual technique brilliantly merges together, turning the novel into an emotionally satisfying mystery. The addition of old friends as secondary characters leave the audience feeling as if they are visiting the small California town for the festival. Ms. Fowler is a very talented writer, who gets her readers involved with the mystery and the characters. This is a series worth reading.

Once again, Earlene Fowler had me hooked right from the beginning in this fifth book in her series. For those of us who love Grandma Dove, this book is especially wonderful since she is featured a bit more -- and there's a new man in her life! As with the other books, I feel I know Benni and Gabe as I read. Great reading.

As usual, Earlene Fowler invites us into her story with quick-witted dialog and characters drawn with razor-edged believability. Inasmuch as it's sometimes difficult to discern her work as mystery or romance, the blend is pleasing and effective. As the reader, I found myself trying to guess not only "whodunit" but also the conclusion to the numerous forays into new relationships pursued by the characters. I was particularly fond of Fowler's decision to form a romantic link for Grandma Dove, a woman in her 70s, because it challenges the reader to accept that romance is not dead after a certain age. Among the humorous (and often balanced) male-bashing and details of the disciplines of photography and cattle castration were poignant reflections on the complexities of family and marital relationships as well as on the roles of women and the aging. The overall result (all murder and motives aside) was an amusing and sweet story.
