After the resounding success of Pamela Christie's 2004 novel,The King's Lizard, it is a treat to delve into its sequel,Dead Lizard's Dance. Christie has created another compelling and credible tale proving herself an imaginative storyteller with a down-to-earth grasp of early New Mexico. It adds up to high historical adventure and a page turning read. --David Grant NobleFilled with rumors of witchcraft, blatant infidelity, betrayal, greed, magic love potions and murder,Dead Lizard's Danceis a highly readable romp through a juicy era of Southwestern history. Best of all, Pamela Christie's smart and likable underdog detective is back, solving crimes in 18th century Santa Fe. It's been a long time since I've read a book that informed and delighted me as much as this one. --Anne HillermanTake an historical novel set in Spanish Colonial New Mexico, add suspicions of witchcraft, lace it with a rousing good mystery, and you've got a winner in Pamela Christie'sDead Lizard's Dance. --Michael McGarrity
