"[A] terrific first in a projected series. . . . 

The characters are superbly drawn, and the prairie--its flatness, winds, and critters--is an evocative character in its own right."

 Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

"See Also Murder is mystery at some of its engrossing best, with an investigator definitely worth following as the new series grows."

See Also Murder is set in 1964, on the North Dakota plains¹. Between taking care of her husband Hank² and working as a freelance book indexer, Marjorie Trumaine has a lot on her plate. But when her nearest neighbors³ are found murdered in their beds, Marjorie suddenly has to deal with a whole lot more. The Sheriff⁴ shows up at her house and asks her to use her researching skills to help solve the case, which might hinge on a strange Norse amulet found clutched in the dead man's hand.  As people around her start to die, Marjorie realizes two things: she is closing in on the killer, and the killer is closing in on her.

That's the rap on May's books. You don't need a time machine or cable [we're looking at you, AMC] to go back in time. All you need is one of these books (and maybe a scotch with Stone Cold Dead, and your favorite reading glasses for See Also Murder) and dive right in to the Sixties. But remember it's still 2015, so take it easy on the "Mashed Potatoes."
