Karen E. Olson - Sacred Cows (2005)
Reviewed by David J. Montgomery
Karen E. Olson's Sacred Cows is a standout debut from this veteran journalist. It's the entertaining story of Anne Seymour, a crime reporter in New Haven, Conn., who's working on a juicy story nobody wants her to pursue.
Someone is killing Yale co-eds who just happen to work for a local escort service, and the deaths look like they might be tied-in to a crooked city lawyer who has conveniently gone on the lam, taking with him the investment funds of most of the city's elite.
Olson writes with a light touch that is the perfect compliment for this charming mystery. The engaging Seymour is a wise and witty character who is good at her job and takes no lip from anyone. Here's hoping she returns for another go-round.
