"This book is a murder mystery for the ages. It has so many colorful characters, and it makes it even more interesting when almost all of them have a motive. The detailed descriptions make for an easy read. This book has all of the makings of the perfect book, and it keeps you guessing all the way to the end. There's never been a mystery like this, and there's a good chance that there never will be again."

"Deadly Trail is filled with intrigue right from the outset as Nick explains each of the deadly cultivars growing along the Nature Trail. Tempe soon learns that one after another of the staff and owners of the Inn are involved in romantic entanglements. Jealousy, lies, deceit all are present. The reader is carried along on a wild ride of excitement until the killer is discovered."

"A prequel to the popular series featuring female Deputy Officer, Tempe Crabtree, Deadly Trail proves to be a solid and clever, cozy-mystery. Marilyn Meredith style is poised and efficient, and her storytelling ability is comparable to anyone writing in the genre. Meredith has written a taut, compact mystery with three-dimensional characters. She knows how to draw her readers in with short chapters and tension-building scenes. A true puzzle with all of the pieces for the reading-sleuth to gather. I look forward to reading the other titles in the series."
~ Phillip Tomasso III, author of Johnny Blade & Third Ring New
