Terrific, as usual, 11 May 1999
By A Customer
As a long time fan of Greenleaf and Marsh Tanner, I thoroughly enjoyed Strawberry Sunday. I love books that inform and challenge me as well as entertain, and can always count on this author to accomplish that.A rumor has been circulating that Greenleaf planned to retire the Tanner series, and with the last book seemed to have done so, in a most excruciating way. With this book, Marsh has been returned to me and I can imagine him, one of the rare really good people, continuing to do what he does best.

Intrigue and justice among the migrant workers - well-done!, 28 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Marsh, battered in body and spirit, finds his own cure in the migrant strawberry fields. His search for a killer puts him back in focus. Greenleaf's language mastery captures the essence of the migrant worker's plight and engages the reader in Marsh's quest for justice.

Well Done! Interesting characters, settings, plot, 16 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Did you every wonder where your fresh strawberries come from? Or the pears, peaches, grapes, pineapples on your table?Stephen Greenleaf explores the agricultural caste system through the voice of his private investigator first person narrator, John Marshall Tanner. Tanner is a great narrator: an intelligent, world weary private eye. Tanner goes off to the strawberry fields of the Salinas area to investigate a murder, then two, and actually three. But this isn't a story of violent murder; it is a story of agricultural communities, of dating in the l990's, of small town politics, of family rivalries. Tanner's weapon is simple: he asks questions. The answers eventually fill in the pieces of a mystery. This is a great read.
