The New York Times

Michael McGarrity is one of those low-key pros who keep the genre honest with realistic crime stories and plain-talking cops who know the procedures. The virtues of this down-to-earth style are on view in Everyone Dies, No. 8 in a solid series set in New Mexico and braced by Kevin Kerney as the chief of the Santa Fe Police Department. — Marilyn Stasio
