Title: A great first novel!
Product review: Strong, well-defined characters that I really got to know, added to an easy-going but very realistic plot line, mixed up with a bunch of New Mexico "in jokes" (all of which are explained in the book, so nobody needs to feel left out) makes a recipe for a terrific read. Authentic "doc talk" makes it ring true, and there are no red herrings and, rarest of all among most contemporary authors, no "magic" ending where everything resolves for no apparent reason. I HOPE this is the first of a series of novels about Matt Dorgan and the gente of Mogote, New Mexico. I want to get to know 'em better.
