RECENT PRAISE for DEAD OF WINTER:

“Rich and multilayered…[Ryan] has a real gift for creating memorable characters and storylines, and not letting the several satellite stories overwhelm her central one. I also found following a death investigator, a job I’d never heard of, to be interesting. There’s plenty to enjoy in this novel, and I imagine, plenty to enjoy in this long series.” —Mystery Scene Magazine

“The freezing weather and the ominous scenarios Mattie encounters make this a chilling tale of twists and unforeseen happenings, as well as the unrelenting duties Mattie faces while dealing with a normal life. An independent, stubborn, yet feisty protagonist, Maggie is a character others can relate to and acknowledge a kinship with.” —New York Journal of Books

“The indomitable heroine overcomes a crazy quilt of stories and threads to tackle the problems of everyday practical living along with the high-profile crimes she's trying to solve.” —Kirkus

“Fast-paced…Series fans won’t be disappointed.” —Publishers Weekly

“Riveting to the end, DEAD OF WINTER is highly recommended.” —Midwest Book Review
