Praise for Desolation Flats

"Set in 1938, Hunt''s outstanding third mystery featuring Mormon policeman Art Oveson combines a moving portrayal of a man attempting to deal with his wife''s depression with a clever whodunit story line. . . .The richness of the characters, including secondary ones, and the imaginative plot make this the best yet in the series." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"This knockout of a novel finds Mormon police detective Art Oveson where we left him at the end of last year''s fine A Killing in Zion - in 1930s Salt Lake City. But this novel is so powerful it can be taken as a stand-alone." -Booklist (starred review)

"Hunt''s characters are full of surprises.... Desolation Flats is a well-written murder mystery." -The Deseret News

Praise for City of Saints

"Mixing in a terrifically paced plot and a memorable policeman hero . . . City of Saints is full of juicy twists that go deep into Mormon doctrine and travel as far as Hollywood."
-National Post (Canada)

"Hunt''s first-person narrative in this gritty mystery is spot-on and conjures up a disturbing portrait of Salt Lake City''s criminal underbelly in the midst of the Great Depression."
-Deseret News

Praise for A Killing in Zion

"Hunt''s excellent second mystery featuring Art Oveson lives up to the promise of his Hillerman Prize-winning debut, City of Saints. . . . Readers will cheer a hero who is not only a fine policeman but also a family man with a strong moral compass."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Some authors excel at crafting compelling historical fiction, others at building, brick-by-brick, gripping mystery/police procedural plots. Andrew Hunt is crackerjack at both."
