From the wild opening scene to the ripping climax, Carnosaur Crimes packs the wallop of a T. Rex in full motion. This is an absolutely terrific mystery, with a feisty and engaging heroine, a gripping plot, and a cast of deftly drawn characters. Best of all, the novel brings the reader into a fascinating world of paleontological skullduggery, museum politics, Native American culture, all set against the buttes, badlands, and prairies of Montana. Christine Gentry knows her stuff and this is the scientific mystery at its very best.'' - Douglas Preston, author of Tyrannosaur Canyon and Brimstone High praise for Mesozoic Murder ''The author grounds the story in plenty of science (nothing too complicated) and Native American culture and lore.... Gentry's appealing heroine, who gets ample opportunity to display her resourcefulness and fortitude amid the intriguing milieu in which she operates, should ensure both a warm reception and a speedy encore.'' - Publishers Weekly ''Anyone reading Mesozoic Murder will understand why some people become obsessed with fossils and dinosaurs as Christine Gentry makes them come alive for the reader.... Ms. Gentry is a very talented writer....'' - Midwest Book Review
