* * *

BODY PARTS, THE DEAD STONE and now THE GRIEF SHOP are unabridged audio books, which you can purchase or rent. 

THE BONE MAN is Vicki's fourth novel in the Tally Whyte homicide counselor series. A tale of suspense and mystery, The Bone Man takes Homicide Counselor TALLY WHYTE from Boston and Martha's Vineyard to New Mexico and Chaco Canyon in search of a dead friend's murderer and a carving known as The Blood Fetish.

Publishers Weekly on The Grief Shop: Tally is a compelling protagonist--edgy, compassionate and vulnerable--with a clipped narrating style that keeps the tricky plot in focus.

Stiefel's latest shows--again--that she can hold her own against genre heavyweights like John Sanford and Patricia Cornwell.
