Praise for Proof of Innocence
"Wow! What a page-turner. I had so many people I suspected of the crimes. This was a great suspense with a touch of romance. The author added several different point-of-views from the characters, which added to the mystery of who-done-it." -- 5*
"Really enjoyed this book. A fast-paced legal thriller that keeps the reader guessing from beginning to end, this book is more a whodunit than the touch of comedy found in many of McLinn"s books." -- 5*
McLinn's writing is "so atmospheric, so descriptive of people and locale that I could swear I heard the waterfall, leaf-deadened footfalls." --5*
"A well-paced murder/mystery with a slow-burn romance." --5*
"Engaging from the beginning [with] many plot twists and plenty of action." --5*
NOTE FROM PATRICIA McLINN TO CAUGHT DEAD IN WYOMING READERS: The Innocence Trilogy does not have as much humor as the Caught Dead mysteries, though there is some. These books are a bit grittier and darker ... though not in the deep end of grit and dark. Be sure to read the preview.
