Title: The Farmer’s Daughter
Genre: Novel
Grade: B+

Review: A fine book of three novellas by the legendary author of Legends of the Fall; combines his usual Hemingway-like portrayal of Montana and the UP of Michigan with an unusual male sensibility of a story told through female characters. Returns to the classic Brown Dog character(BD)of previous writings and includes a beautiful coming of age tale of a young woman in remote Montana
Title: Red Herring
Genre: Novel
Grade: A
Notable People: Archer Mayor (Author)
Review: This is about the 20th in the long running Joe Gunther detective series by Vermont author Archer Mayor. For my money- it is the best yet of what has been a consistently wonderful series. If you have not yet made the acquaintance of Joe Gunther and Willie Kunkle- you could do worse than starting with this one. If you are a regular or occasional fan- you are in for a treat. Compelling story, wonderfully descriptive writing and great characters make this one hard to put down.
