PEOPLE Magazine raves about White Shotgun -- Three star review
*** In Italy to uncover dirt on a relative on the FBI's watch list, Ana Grey finds calamities piling up, but the adrenaline is nicely balanced by the heroine's grappling with loyalties to both blood and Bureau. READ MORE
Los Angeles Times reviews White Shotgun
Smith manages to sustain the various strands of tension in her story well, subtly moving from one subplot to another and bringing them together brilliantly in the end. "White Shotgun" gets the job done as a satisfying thriller, but what's even more impressive is the crisp, spare writing throughout. READ MORE
Robert Crais reviews White Shotgun
Let’s cut to the chase: I love Smith’s work. She is one of the finest,
smartest, most gifted writers working in crime fiction today, and White
Shotgun is her best novel since the justifiably celebrated North of
Montana, the novel that introduced FBI Special Agent Ana Gray. READ MORE
The Pittsburgh Tribune
Smith has created a vibrant, intriguing cast
of characters and has a superb eye for detail, as evidenced by her
vivid descriptions of the Italian landscape. But her true forte is
storytelling, and this unlikely tale of an FBI agent investigating a
mafia connection in Italy works because of Smith's nimble plotting. READ MORE

I spent a few years of my life reading and reviewing crime fiction on a weekly basis and I love the genre...She's a complex, believable and ultimately far more compelling character
than usually found in even the best thrillers and crime novels. As a
narrator, Grey shares her love life, professional expertise, sense of
smell and wry wit with her readers, who she steadily draws in to a
realistic and desperate world. READ MORE
