PRAISE FOR ROBIN HATHAWAY AND SCARECROW
“In an intriguing
departure from her Doctor Fenimore novels...Hathaway launches a new series
with an unusual heroine. Reeling from the death of a young patient, Dr. Jo
Banks abandons her job in Manhattan and hits the road. She ends up at a New
Jersey motel, where she treats a woman who becomes suddenly ill.... Tooling
about on a motorcycle, Jo encounters more strange events and even murder,
and her penchant for nosiness leads her into danger that could prove life-threatening.
As the young physician integrates herself into the community, Hathaway convincingly
portrays small-town and rural New Jersey life in an appealing, sometimes
poignant story with low-key suspense and winning characters.”—Publishers
Weekly
“An offbeat heroine, crusty local characters, and a fine sense of menace...”—Kirkus Reviews
“In a break from her popular
Dr. Fenimore series, Hathaway introduces a compelling new physician-sleuth,
twentysomething Jo Banks.... An affectionate portrayal of small-town life.”—Booklist
“Meet Dr. Jo Banks and her world of marshes, medicine, and murder. A terrific beginning for a marvelous new series.”—Charles Todd, author of A Fearsome Doubt (Bantam)
