*STARRED REVIEW* "Set in Enid, Okla., in 1915, Casey's smart fourth whodunit to feature farmer's wife Alafair Tucker (after 2007's /The Drop Edge of Yonder/) sensitively evokes smalltown life. The impending demise of Alafair's ill brother-in-law, Lester Yeager, raises concern about the future of the family storage company on the part of his prospective heirs. One of them, Yeager's son-in-law, Kenneth Crawford, has embezzled money from the company. Then Crawford's corpse, lacking any obvious cause of death, turns up in a meat locker. Tucker once again adds her insights into human nature to the official investigation, before arriving at a solution that most will find both logical and surprising. Since the murder occurs well on into the book, readers whose focus is on crime may be a little impatient for something beyond family dynamics and dysfunction to happen. Those who like their puzzles cloaked in local color from a different time will be amply rewarded." -- Publishers Weekly of The SkyTook Him "Fans will welcome this fourth in an appealing historical series." -- Booklist of The Sky Took Him " *STARRED REVIEW"* ""Set in Enid, Okla., in 1915, Casey's smart fourth whodunit to feature farmer's wife Alafair Tucker (after 2007's /The Drop Edge of Yonder/) sensitively evokes smalltown life.

Reseña del editor
Praise for The Sky Took Him... "Casey captures the Oklahoma of 1915-16...with recipes of the era added for spice...an appealing historical series." -Booklist A sad duty brings Alafair Tucker to Enid, Oklahoma, in the fall of 1915. Her sister Ruth Ann's husband, Lester, is not long for this world, and the family is gathering to send him to his reward. Alafair's eldest daughter Martha has come along to care for toddler Grace, freeing Alafair to comfort the soon-to-be-bereaved. But where is Kenneth, her niece's irresponsible husband? When it comes to light that Kenneth has been involved in some shady dealing with Buck Collins, the most ruthless businessman in town, everyone is convinced that Collins has done him in. In fact, no other possibility is considered. But Alafair suspects that things are not so simple, and with help from Martha, Grace, and her sister's cat, she sets about to discover the truth about Kenneth's fate. Over the next few days, Alafair and Martha come face-to-face with blackmail, intimidation, murder, and family secrets that stretch back over twenty years. And in the process, they discover things about each other that will change their relationship forever. Donis Casey was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Before becoming a full-time mystery writer, she enjoyed careers as an English teacher, an academic librarian, and an entrepreneur. She lives with her husband, poet Don Koozer, in Arizona. www.doniscasey.com www.typem4murder.blogspot.com
