“Julie Smith writes like jazz should sound—cool, complex, and penetrating right to the heart.”
-Val McDermid, best-selling author of the Tony Hill series
“Smith shows an Agatha Christie-like capacity for making much ado about clues, concocting straw hypotheses, and surprising us”
-San Francisco Chronicle
“Highly evocative of the big Easy, Louisiana Bigshot is an easy read filled with colorful, exciting people drawn with affection and intelligence."
-Dallas Morning News
“One more blithe San Fran outing with a likable journalist-sleuth by the name of Paul Mcdonald… Smith improves with each story and this is her best to date.”
-Kirkus Reviews
