Book Reviews

Evelyn David (Tulsa, OK), author of Murder Off the Books.

Whistler's Gold is a modern western that reminds me of the magnificent Zane Grey books I read as a child.  [It provides] ... a delicate watercolor portrait of life on the Navajo Reservation.  I highly recommend this book for readers young and old who like a mystery mixed with light touches of romance and western history.

Winterton possesses an undeniable gift for plot that carries Whistler's Gold through a satisfying series of contortions and seemingly unsolvable problems to a gratifying conclusion.  There is also an air of innocence about the whole enterprise that never goes away, from the first page to the last.

Winterton writes about the Four Corners as only a person who has lived in this rugged area could.  Whistler's Gold is a great story that shows that gaps between cultures can be crossed.  It's a sure win for readers who like heartwarming stories filled with intrigue and mystery.

Winterton carves his own place in the desert cliffs of Southwestern Indian mysteries.  Following in the broad wake of Tony Hillerman, Aimee and David Thurlo and others, he brings a sharp eye and a tender heart to this tale of a conquistador's treasure hidden somewhere on the vast Navajo Reservation.

I've just finished Whistler's Gold and I enjoyed it immensely.  Very readable.  I'm impressed with Winterton's gift for plot.  I can smell more books coming and I hope I'm right.  I love a good mystery and this is a good mystery.

Once you are into the narrative it becomes increasingly difficult to put down.  Another plus is that the novel's setting did make an impression on me ... particularly as Winterton blends his vast knowledge of Navajo culture into the narrative.

Whistler's Gold has, at the heart of it, a love story.  The love story itself is enjoyable, but Whistler's Gold is much more than that, with several mysteries rolling out seamlessly alongside the romance.  Winterton has managed to blend the genres of mystery and romance together in a book that is entertaining on many levels.
