Product Description

Review
"Seranella drops us right down into the middle of a dark and perplexing world and makes us feel--along with her hero--just how hard it is to get out."-- T. Jefferson Parker, author of "The Triggerman's Dance""Every so often a first novel is so strong, so original and so well written that it is obviously the beginning of an important career. Seranella has written such a book."-- "Poisoned Pen"

Synopsis
Hoping to start over after kicking a heroin addiction, Munch Mancini flees Venice Beach when she becomes a suspect in the shooting death of her abusive father, but she must return for a dangerous showdown in order to move on with her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars More authentic on auto mechanics than dialog, 27 Jun 1999
By A Customer
It is great writing and I pulled an all-nighter until I'd finished it. Wonderful technical detail, from botany to cars. The dialog is not Elmore Leonard standard. No drug-addicted prostitute I have ever known (and I've known a few) ever expressed herself in such terms as "hypothetically speaking couldn't the information the police sought be obtained over the phone." I liked finding that a witty and hard-boiled crime writer included a few decent, helpful, effective, and even sincerely religious, characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY ORIGINAL WRITING, 29 Dec 1998
By A Customer
The title and book cover are very deceiving at first glance. I had picked the paperback up three times and put it back before reading a few of the pages. It gives the impression of being a sci-fi/horror book. Instead, I was rewarded with a good, solid suspense mystery. Very good writing,original characters with humor to boot. Looking forward to reading "NO OFFENSE INTENDED.' Keep them coming, Barbara, 'cause you have a fan here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alas, humans involved., 8 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: No Human Involved (Hardcover)
This is another boonie dog book review by Wolfie and Kansas. We eagerly looked forward to reading Barbara Seranella's novel "No Human Involved". Both the title and the fact that the main character is named "Munch" gave rise to certain expectations.

Alas, it turned out that nearly all of the characters in this novel are noncanine animals of primate derivation. Even Munch is human. This novel has two saving graces, however. First, one of the lead characters, a police detective, does save two dogs from being "put to sleep" at the "humane shelter". Second, "No Human Involved" may be the best first novel in the crime fiction genre that we have ever read--and we had to think twice about including the word "first" in this sentence.
