Editorial Reviews:

"A disappearance... a Native legend... a murder... a terrific read!" -- Donna Carrick, author of The First Excellence

"A deftly conceived, multilayered story told with a compassionate voice... The plot leads you to a conclusion with skillfully planted clues, employs a sense of the setting so real that the reader feels a part of the place and uses dialogue that reveals the minds and souls of the characters in it. Victim will linger in your mind long after you've closed the book... a gifted piece of writing." -- The Hamilton Spectator

"VICTIM, by Catherine Astolfo, is an enjoyable, engaging read -- a fine book full of suspense with lively, and intriguing characters. This is good, strong, clear writing that keeps the reader waiting for more. Along with a complex mystery, there's even a few sensual love scenes and a darling dog! Best of all -- the mystery at the heart of this story seamlessly combines Aboriginal myths and legends with a precise rendering of small-town Canadian manners and mores. VICTIM is original, sensitive and satisfying." -- Rosemary Aubert, author of the Ellis Portal mystery series

"I very much enjoyed reading "Victim"... a suspenseful novel filled with interesting and well defined characters. As a mystery fan, I revelled in the mounting tension and the twists. Throughout the story, the mystery game is afoot and so I enjoyed guessing what the characters motives are and who had ulterior motives. "Victim" is an engrossing mystery that I would recommend as a mystery readers' pick." -- Jo-Ann Tremblay, author of The Self-Coaching Toolbox
