"Dietz is a talented writer....Readers will initially settle in for a standard mystery. But when the appealing Kathleen and Harold take over things, this story becomes much more complicated than a simple whodunit--it delightfully turns into serious literature. Readers should hope for more captivating novels from this promising author."-KIRKUS (starred review)
"The Flapper, the Scientist, and the Saboteur crackles with energy and emotion. Charlene Dietz delves deeply into issues of aging and the search to learn the truth-before it's too late." -John Dedakis, novelist, writing coach, and former senior copy editor for CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" (johndedakis.com)
"Charlene Dietz crafts a gripping mystery that runs alongside-and frequently intrudes into-an equally compelling family drama. The story will keep you desperate for more, and the quick-witted, easy-flowing dialogue creates an atmosphere of excitement and energy that is sure to draw you in. . . . a refreshingly well-executed and original book." -James Ayers, senior production editor, University of New Mexico Press
"Char Dietz uses extensive research, good writing, and a keen sense of the human psyche to create The Flapper, the Scientist, and the Saboteur. Beth Armstrong, the scientist and protagonist of this story, hits plenty of snags in her biomedical research into a cure for multiple sclerosis, just as she does in her relationships with her husband and with her aging, cantankerous aunt, but she doesn't want to give up on any of it. Here is a story of a scientist's struggle and a woman's personal struggle that, like any life experiment, brings us face-to-face with the meaning of failure, success, and, yes, even love." -Paula Paul, author of Forgetting Tommie and Sins of the Empress.
