To Live or Die in Arizona: A Novel Of Suspense by Elizabeth Bruening Lewis. To Live or Die in Arizona is a novel of suspense set amid the magnificent San Francisco Peaks of Northern Arizona. Abby... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I love the "older" heroine of this novel (Abby). She's real and her struggles are real. She's smart and funny and even romantic. She thinks, at one point, `I can't even relate to David as a damned attractive man'; a half-page later `she wanted to play the part of a carefree woman out on a lark with a fun, intelligent good-looking man'. What woman past her 20s hasn't felt that way?? Although some of the characters (Bob, Pam) could have been fleshed out a little more, and the environmentalists weren't shown in the best light, the mystery kept me in suspense until nearly the end (and the "mystery within a mystery" about the Alfa Romeo car). I found it interesting that I also have a character in my novel, "Last Chance Rescue," with the last name "Van Dyke"!
Great Read

A great read for Arizona fans: evokes the region with vivid imagery and authenticity. But the real fun is in the murder plot and its resolution by an engaging heroine who doesn't let a little thing like kidney disease get her down.
