Mystery

FOOLS RUSH IN (1st in the Christy Bristol Astrology series)
WHERE ANGELS FEAR (2nd in the Christy Bristol Astrology series)

I devoured both books and loved every word. Frazier's heroine, Christy Bristol, works for the sheriff's office and does astrology readings on the side. In FOOLS RUSH IN, when she's asked to make a chart on a drug dealer, she ends up being kidnapped and fighting for her life. Lots of tension in this one. I'd call it a thriller rather than a mystery, and I guarantee you won't want to put it down.

WHERE ANGELS FEAR, on the other hand, is a mystery, one that revolves not only around astrology, but sex clubs. This one will keep you guessing to the very end. Lots of great characters--Christy's friend Lennie is well developed in this one, and a real charmer.

What I particularly like about Frasier's writing is her characterization. Her criminals are as well developed as her heros, and the situations seem ripped from the headlines. Good stuff.
