Reviews
"Resident deputy of Bear Creek in the Southern Sierra, Tempe Crabtree responds to a report of a missing child at Lake Dennison campground. At the scene, Jan Leaphorn explains that her three-year-old daughter is missing. A few days later, a fisherman on the other side of the lake finds the body of a little girl. There are many potential suspects and Tempe uses deductive reasoning and her instincts to insure justice prevails. The mystery is well drawn and the supporting cast adds realism to the entertaining story line. UNEQUALLY YOKED is a top-notch police procedure that sub-genre fans take pleasure in reading." –Harriet Klausner
"In UNEQUALLY YOKED" Marilyn Meredith provides an interesting story that is hard to put down. Much to her minister husband Hutch's dismay, Tempe is drawn into the mystical customs of her American Indian heritage while trying to find a missing child. Hutch tries to be supportive but their disagreement drives a wedge between them as Tempe goes against his wishes and takes part in an Indian ritual that is hoped will help locate the little girl. The intriguing mystery takes you into a world of Indian culture that few of us are familiar with. The conflict between Tempe and her husband provide an interesting side plot.." –Lorie Ham, author of MURDER IN FOUR PART HARMONY, reviewer for Suite 101.
"The pressure never lets up on Deputy Tempe Crabtree in her search of a missing child and, ultimately, a murderer–particularly when the clash of her Native American beliefs with her pastor husband's Christianity threatens to hinder the investigation. Suspensefully written." –Gay Tolti Kinman, editor of "Desserticide."
"A horrendous crime and fast-paced whodunit make for a real page-turner in this second book of the Tempe Crabtree mystery series. Constant action, strong characters, real-life situations–Marilyn Meredith knows how to write them." –Patricia Ricks, Pemberly Press, The Authors Studio.
"...it is an enjoyable and absorbing read, and Tempe is every bit as interesting as she was in DEADLY OMEN. I like the way she works to balance her ethnic heritages, her family and her work, and her life in general, and I'm thrilled to see a strong but realistically confused character." –Victoria Esposito-Shea, HandHeldCrime.
"...As a reader, I find this series totally absorbing. Far from a wonder woman, Tempe's flaws are all too evident but she continues to do what she has to do--but that in no way takes away from the excellent mystery plot. I can't recommend this highly enough--and I am already anxious to read the next book." –Patricia Lucas White/CRESCENT BOOK REVIEWS
