Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Deep beneath the desert lies a woman's body, mummified by salt, abandoned by those who ought to seek her. With her rests a secret that someone will kill to keep buried.
Devil's Claw
It's a barren wasteland, the dead center of nowhere, and the last place Dana Vanover wants to be. But it's also the last known address of her missing sister. Determined to locate Angie, Dana won't be deterred by suspicious rednecks, snakebite, or even the grim prognosis of Sheriff Jay Eversole: no woman could survive more than a week alone in the burning heat of Rimrock County . But the endless sands aren't the only thing hotter than the chili served up in the Broken Spur café. Despite small-town dirty politics, a deadly car chase and a dangerous paternity search, Dana and Jay can't keep their hands off each other. In the least populated area of the country they've managed to find love. Now all they have to do is stay alive long enough to uncover...The Salt Maiden

I thought this was the most boring book I've read all year. The villian was obvious given the clues.

I have been avid reader since I could read. I tend to get interested in a particular genre and when I find an author I like, read everything. I've been reading "romance" after 40 years of fiction. Colleen Thompson is a very good writer. She offers a solid plot, well developed characters, and interesting context. In addition to the stories which have been consistently good romantic suspense, she is well informed about Latino activism, enviormental issues, and Texas. I am sorry she is not better recognized because she stands out. I wish I had read her books in order because she grows as a writer and each book gets better. Her publisher should look at her as a real talent.

I bought this book out of desperation for something to read while i was out of town and what a GREAT choice i made! I don't wont to get into too much detail and spoil the ending, but I wasn't able to guess who the killer was, until the very minute he was revealed toward the end of the book, his identity was very well hidden. This is the very first book i've read by Colleen Thompson, but it want be the last.

I'm so glad to be finally giving a 5 star review. I've recently tried 3 new authors (based on 5 star reviews) and have been sorely disappointed in two of them.
This book was excellent! The detail of the author's writing was tremendous - one could actually picture what she was describing. Very few authors have that capability so Kudos! to Ms. Thompson. I also liked the originality of the story. Jay and Dana seemed like "real people in real situations" so the reader wasn't asked to suspend reality. I've read too many books where the author writes some unbelievable, unrealistic heroics even for a romance book.
Anyway, wonderful book going on my keeper shelf.

I have just finished reading The Salt Maiden. (I am a slow reader.) It is, there are many adjectives to describe this book. So my best one is, fantastic, stimulating, provocative,sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat. Simply put, I loved it.
You will love Dana, a very sensitive animal lover. Jay, a war veteran, now Sheriff, with traumas that haunt him, will capture your heart,make you wish that you could comfort him. And as they are thrown together to find Dana's sister, in an effort save a sick child, you will travel with them on a journey wondering what will happen to the child and to Dana and Jay as they struggle against all odds to save each other and themselves.
