Back in October, a very positive review of Merigan Tales appeared on Resilience.org. Here's the bit we're most interested in around here:
Woo!
In Troy Jones III’s exciting mystery “Tiny’s Legacy,” we meet a cabal of shady characters who will stop at nothing to learn the location of the fabled research facility we were introduced to in Star’s Reach, which they’re convinced holds the key to restoring the old world. The story’s lead character, Danna, is an impetuous, physically imposing young woman who can hold her own against most men in a fight. Employed as a “burner”—or one charged with incinerating the deceased and then safely disposing of their ashes—she one day happens upon the corpse of a suspicious out-of-towner. As she attempts to gather clues as to the man’s identity and the reason he turned up dead in her community, she becomes involved in a high-stakes clandestine operation. The result is a taut, intelligent thriller told from the viewpoint of a wonderfully fierce heroine.
Woo!
