4.0 out of 5 stars Why the supernatural?, 16 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Digging up Momma (Paperback)
This was the first Samantha Adams novel I have ever read, so maybe there is something about the genre I don't understand. Don't get me wrong, I really think this is a gifted author. She had me in a "can't put this book down even at 1:00 a.m. during the work week" mode all the way to the very end. Then I had some questions, to wit: Why Earl? (See comments in the review above. And my biggest problem with the book--Sam is rescued in the end by (1) a character who doesn't appear, and who is mentioned no more than once, prior to the next to the last chapter who is assisted by (2) the ghost of a Native American woman--the same entity who appeared to be very much of this earth when she bought Sam some fast food early in the book. This was just too much for me. I will read one more Sam Adams novel, since they are so well received, and see what the first ones are like. I hope that there are no more interventions from "beyond the pale." Those are great for Anne Rice novels, but some of us like our sleuths a bit more realistic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable!!!, 15 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Digging up Momma (Paperback)
Being a native New Mexican and living for over a year in Santa Fe, I was rather critical while reading the book. Not only was the story very enjoyable, but every aspect of how Santa Fe and the rest of New Mexico was described was very accurate. I strongly recommend this book if you are looking for a light-hearted mystery with a great idea of what Santa Fe is like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Thumbs Up...And A Toe!!!, 6 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Digging up Momma (Paperback)
This is my first Sarah Shankman book. I like her style. Mystery laced with black humor. We've got to laugh at ourselves, right? I do have one question, however: Why Earl? That's all I'm going to say on that matter. Don't want to spoil the plot for those who haven't enjoyed this delightful book yet. Samantha's a kick in the head. New Mexico, a great locale. Check it out.
