Wild Indigo and Wild Inferno introduced rough and ready Bureau of Land Management agent Jamaica Wild. Now, as the icy chill of winter looms, Jamaica stumbles across a frozen corpse and a hate crime with disturbing roots in the history of the Pueblo. Below are just a few of the many accolades for these first two titles. WILD SORROW Review Quotes “A crackling mystery, ‘Wild Sorrow' also combines Ault's lovely nature writing with her indignation over the way Indian children were mistreated at the boarding schools. It's a potent mix, and Ault invests it with chilling authenticity and suspense - and an epilogue that will break your heart." — Jay Strafford, Richmond Times Dispatch "Fans of the late Tony Hillerman will embrace Ault's outstanding third mystery... Ault's wildlife expertise and knowledge of Tanoah culture enhance a poignant plot."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review “Ault's talents go far beyond devising a suspense-driven plot; she layers this enjoyable tale with her considerable knowledge of Native American customs and history. I'm not the first to say it, nor will I be the last: Fans of Nevada Barr and Tony Hillerman will be enthralled with this series. If you aren't yet a fan of this... author...you should be."—New Mexico Magazine “I read the outstanding new mystery Wild Sorrow...If Ault's gripping storytelling skills weren't enough to make this a compelling read, there is also her ability to convey the beauty and power of the landscape...Ault is often compared to the late Tony Hillerman. While it's an honorable and helpful comparison, it's also a bit unfair. Ault's novels are unique and original, and they deserve to stand on their own. Last year, Ault's Wild Infernowas recognized by Publishers Weekly as one of the Best Books of 2008. Wild Sorrow should be a strong favorite to make the list in 2009...Ault, like many a great storyteller of the American West, understands the richness of 'deep time.' And we are fortunate she has once again given us a glimpse into the great heritage of a great people."—Kurtis Kelly, The Estes Park Trail Gazette "Cross best-selling author Tony Hillerman with veteran author
Sue Grafton and what have you got - the best of both worlds in a hybrid
writer named Sandi Ault... The result is a set of mysteries that leave
fans breathless by the end of the first chapter."—Susan Johnson,
Sedona Red Rock News "Ault has the background to write this outdoor series, and it shows on every page. ...You might as well turn off the phone and lock the door, you are in it until the very last page releases its hold on you. About the book: The suspense is one thing - and there is plenty of it - but you will feel like you're reading a literary work at the same time. Ault uses the language in unique ways." — Nancy Hansford, The Coloradoan “"In this third installment of a high-action mystery series set in Taos County… Swirling around the search for the killer, Ault rolls in several subplots amid swiftly changing scenes. Ault earned a special Edgar prize - a Mary Higgins Clark Award winner for her debut mystery. She's a master at describing nature." —David Steinberg, The Albuquerque Journal "Sandi Ault aims for both the heart and the stomach. And she nails both. Neither blow is an accident...She is already being compared to Hillerman." — Cobbledstones Reviews “This is one Wild adventure you will not want to miss. You will find yourself caught up in every adventure, dangerous incident and issue Jamaica and Mountain face. Put Wild Sorrow on your list of "must haves" and you will not be sorry.” — Native America Online “The whodunit is exciting because no one, not even the heroine, knows why she has [come] under siege.

Ault is a visual
writer and that brings another rich layer to the deep emotions and historical
portions of her novels. I think that . . . it only adds to the beauty
of her writing. I rooted with fervor . . . and can’t wait for
the next Wild mystery.” —Andrea Sisco, Armchair Interviews

Ault excels is in developing a suspenseful, action-filled mystery on
rugged Southwest terrain." —New Mexico Magazine “Fans of Nevada Barr and Tony Hillerman will snap this up, but Ault is such a good writer that crime fiction buffs who enjoy a good mystery with plenty of action and great background detail will put this on their hold lists. Highly recommended.” — Library Journal STARRED REVIEW WILD INDIGO Reviews Quotes: “[A] striking debut . . . thrills galore.” —The New York Times Book Review “Read this and take a walk on the wild side.” — The Rocky Mountain News “Wow!
