Virginia Swift Books Overview
Brown-Eyed Girl
Sally Alder thought she’d left Laramie and outgrown her hard drinking, guitar playing, hell raising post for good. After all, this former singer known as Mustang Sally has become a respected history professor. What’s more, she’s been named to a richly endowed position at the University of Wyoming. But this plum job lands her back in Laramie secretly researching the life of one of the town’s most famous yet little known citizens, the late Meg Dunwoodie. Of course, everyone knows Sally’s poking through old Meg’s papers, and a lot of people think that buried among them is a treasure map that could leadto a fortune. Most of Laramie is determined to find it, including a bunch of clueless burglars, a curious sheriff, gossipy friends, and greedy faculty colleagues. And, as if that isn’t enough to distract Sally, sexy Hawk Green is back to rekindle the romance she thought was gone forever. As she delves into Meg’s romantic past, Sally discovers the forces of good and evil in Laramie are beginning to align in a mysterious way. And if she doesn’t learn from the post quickly enough, she may be doomed to repeat deadly mistakes.
Bye, Bye, Love
In the third book in Virginia Swift’s acclaimed mystery series, Sally Alder, hailed by USA Today as ‘Wyoming’s version of TV’s Jessica Fletcher or Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple,’ is back with her colorful cohorts to investigate a bizarre murder. Okay, it’s embarrassing for a woman of her professional stature and self image still to have a crush on singer Thomas ‘Stone’ Jackson, a guy whose nickname derives from his legendary propensity for addictive substances. But when Jackson appears one day and asks college professor and sometime sleuth Sally Alder for a little help, she can’t say no. Jackson is worried about his ex wife, folksinger Nina Cruz. It turns out his concern is justified when Nina is found shot to death in the snow covered forest behind her house. While the sheriff’s office believes Nina’s death is most likely a hunting accident, Sally is unconvinced. It’s up to her to get to the truth, as she uncovers a plot fueled by a twisted mixture of altruism and greed. Praised by critics for her ‘lively characters and surprising plot twists’ Booklist, and ‘good local color’ Library Journal, Virginia Swift has once again created a fast paced, clever tale of murder and mayhem, sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats.
