Scott's highly acclaimed series featuring beloved heroine Joanne Ross.</b> <p/>Praised for their "well-drawn characters" (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>), "ingenious" plotting (<i>Booklist</i>, starred review), and "a terrific sense of place" (Rhys Bowen, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Hush Now, Don't You Cry</i>), A.
