[.ca] The Edge Of The Crazies: In The Big Sky Country Of ... (ISBN 0312959427)

Went Directly Onto My Keeper Shelf:
Jamie Harrison writes more into the first 80 pages than most authors put into an entire book. Characters, scenery, emotions, undercurrents and tensions between characters, they are all there. In a world of a lot of ho-hum writing, Harrison really stands out head and shoulders above the rest! I am reading her second book in the series, GOING LOCAL, right now, and it's another excellent book proving that the first was no fluke. For a book like this, I wish the ratings included more stars. It's just that good! Get it, read it, and put it on your keeper shelf. I'll be reading this series more than once!

Welcome to Blue Deer, Where the Weird are Welcome:
For those of us whose every day is off-kilter, Jamie Harrison has created the ideal town with the perfect sheriff: Jules Clement, Ph.D., of Blue Deer, Montana. Home after a decade of archeological exploration, Jules finds that the duties of a small-town sheriff are more dangerous than excavating in Tunisia or Turkey, because in Montana he has to cope with sibling rivalry, nouveau riche newcomers, duck killers, naked men peeing in the town park, and memories of his father's murder twenty years earlier. Walking on the wild side has never been better.

The Edge of the Crazies:
I first found this series at the library, and I have bought them all because I like them so well, I want to be able to introduce friends to them. Literate, funny, the characters are eccentric and believable. And for all those woman who love Martha Grimes' Richard Jury, get ready for Jules. Catches the flavor of a small town and Montana.

Terrific:
Funny, tough, startling, believable -- the characters and the setting are likeable, the plot is accessible, and Ms. Harrison writes very well. It's much too much fun to discover Jules Clement on your own to tell you more, and the book is well worth reading. This is a mystery to treasure.

Excellent.:
Jamie Harrison is without peer - more novels about Jules please!
