"...I enjoyed every page of Wingbeat, the fourth book featuring Deputy Crabtree and her assorted family, Native American mentors, and friends. Marilyn Meredith, peerless storyteller, presents fully realized characters, wonderful glimpses into a Native American culture, and the follies and fancies of the human estate (including the flaws and fumbles and fears) with precise plotting and a deft hand. I've read all four books and each time I think it can't be as good as the last one. But Meredith invariably proves me wrong. Each book builds on the previous volume, but can easily be read as a stand-alone novel. However, Meredith's writing is addictive and should come with a warning saying, ‘Bet you can't read just one.’ That would include her other novels -- some mysteries, some not -- as well." ’Crescent Blue Reviews - Patricia Lucas White.
"Wing Beat, the fourth and latest Tempe Crabtree mystery by Marilyn Meredith is a must read for anyone that loves native American lore, California small towns and tight knit communities. All of the characters are well defined and the sense of place is real. Wing Beat is finely crafted Christian mystery with just enough faith and suspense to keep you turning the pages. Tempe Crabtree is a feisty, take-charge resident deputy that doesn't mind getting a little dirty or staring down a bear to bring the bad guy to justice. A must read." —Four Stars--- Patricia E. Canterbury, author Poplar Cove/ Delta Mysteries
"...Like the previous books in the series, Wing Beat is a fast, enjoyable read. The characters are well-defined, the plot carefully structured and the narrative swift and engaging. I am a long time fan of Meredith and look forward to additional installments in the popular series! —Phillip Tomasso III Bestsellers World Reviews
"WINGBEAT is the fourth installment of Marilyn Meredith's Tempe Crabtree series. The author's descriptive skills give readers the sense that they are there, in the woods and rutted roads of Bear Creek. Meredith is expert at drawing rich characters with depth. WINGBEAT contains only a smattering of strong language and, while there is some adult subject matter, the book could easily fit into an older teen's summer reading. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. —I Love A Mystery –Caryl Harvey
