Praise for the novels of Sarah Andrews
Fault Line
"The most intriguing complexities in Fault Line lie with Em's own character."-Washington Post
"Em Hansen's seventh well-paced outing...Em Hansen is rapidly carving out a niche for herself as a forensic geologist...and may eventually make her field as popular as that of forensic anthropology or medicine."-Publishers Weekly
"The resourceful and intelligent Hansen makes a terrific series heroine...What has made the series shine has been the amount of "hard science" that Andrews, a professional geologist herself, was able to work into the stories."--Booklist
"A fine series."-Library Journal
"Compulsively readable."-Houston Chronicle
"An entertaining story...[Andrews] has a winning detective in Em Hansen."-Dallas Morning News
An Eye For Gold
"Suspense every step of the way...[with] twists and turns that will keep you turning the ages."
-The Press Democrat
"Em Hansen is plucky and smart...the mystery is complicated and absorbing."-Booklist
Bone Hunter
"[Em Hansen] is a clear-thinking, straight-talking heroine whose unabashed naivete is endearing."-New York Times Book Review
"Andrews...has become a leading light.... Her novel is a suspenseful mystery spiked with dinosaurs, science, and religion: what more could a reader ask for?"-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The latest Em Hansen is by far the best...Andrews makes the most of her paleontological background. She clearly knows her subject and, unlike many crime writers, she does not use the surroundings merely as window dressing. The novel is, in addition to a fine mystery, a lively 0exploration of the high-stakes world of dinosaur research and perceptive rumination on the debate between science and creationism."-Booklist
"Geologist Em Hansen's adventures become more and more intriguing with each new book...A most fascinating tale."-Romantic Times
"Appealing characters and fluent prose."-Library Journal
"The fifth Em Hansen novel is a fabulous blending of science and sleuthing that readers will fully relish...Sarah Andrews may be writing the best scientific mysteries this side of the medical thriller."-Harriet Klausner, Painted Rock Reviews
"Memorable...Bone Hunter knows its stuff when it comes to weaving the geology of [this] state into a crime as plausible as today's headlines."-Salt Lake Tribune
Only Flesh And Bones
"Her tale contains a canny, entertaining mixture of elements.... The intersections of new money and old ways of living in the West find a convincing chronicler in Andrews."
-Washington Post Book World
"Andrews handles [the] possibilities with a sure hand as she introduces an endless supply of secondary characters whose company is a delight. Thoughtful and uncertain, Em is especially appealing as she makes the quiet point that murder involves more than flesh and bones... After a few more cases, geologist Em Hansen may be as tough as the best of her sleuthing peers, but her vulnerability offers singular pleasures to current readers."-Publishers Weekly
"[A] fine mystery with an edgy and vulnerable heroine... There's action and passion, introspection and suspense. Em is smart company, and we learn her mind and heart along with her."-Booklist
"In the fourth book in the series, Andrews moves away from the rig to issues of mothers, daughters, and ranch life. But she continues to tell a good story."-New Orleans Times-Picayune
"A slick, endearing heroine...We tore through this novel." -Seventeen
"Em Hansen is one of the most interesting characters in recent mystery fiction-a strong woman with believable weaknesses and none of the smugness or coyness which bog down other, better-selling series heroines."-Amazon.com's Mystery Editor
"One of the finest elements of an Em Hansen mystery is female characters who are strong, lindependent and intelligent... [a] marvelous mystery."--Douglas (Wyoming) Budget
Mother Nature
"Complex and engaging... Snappy dialogue and fully realized characters, especially the immensely appealing Em, turn the field of geology into a fascinating background for a mystery."-Publishers Weekly
"Mother Nature is an intriguing who-done-it. However, what turns this into an interesting tale is the deeply developed characters (especially Em) and the brilliant insight into geology. Surprisingly, the geological aspects of the story are...extremely fascinating."
