Biting the Moon

Ms. Grimes has brought her ability to create personable characters and stunning locations to America. This is a twist in her mysteries; she is taking on a 'cause.' I enjoyed seeing Mary Dark Hope, again, and Andi is a wonderful new addition to Ms. Grimes 'cast of characters.'

I had read the subsequent book "Dakota" first, so was thrilled to see there was a prequel to this written years earlier. I hope there will be a third book in this series, as it still leaves way to much hanging out there unanswered.

Grimes' main character is an amnesiac who likes to rescue animals. She and her new friend go on a journey to figure out what happened to her and why she can't remember it. The trip is suspenseful, but it's a little bit mystifying how two girls, neither of whom have a drivers' license or even know how to drive, can make it from Santa Fe to the middle of Idaho without getting pulled over.I found myself rushing through to find out what has happened, but I think I might have missed something because lots of it didn't make sense. I really liked Grimes' Hotel Paradise, but everything I've read by her since then hasn't been as entertaining. This book does have a sequel, though, so hopefully there will be some resolution there.

The condition of the used book.

I expected the book to be NEW it was not it was obviously used very disappointed by this

I loved Martha Grimes Richard Jury series and I loved Hotel Paradise. This feels like it was written by someone else. Is it possible that they are using Martha Grimes name but that these books are being ghost written by someone else?The plot was hard to follow. The characters dialogue and actions were highly improbable. Some situations in the book were so romanticized as to be ridiculous. I appreciate the attempt to bring to light the abuse of animals but I cannot recommend this book.

Interesting book

Good book but wish I had read it before Dakota and even with having read Dakota, the mystery still isnt answered. Where is the sequel?
