"The intricately plotted mystery puts a new spin on several
historical figures, including O'Keeffe and the Lindberghs, who are
guests at the ranch. Lasky ("Calista Jacobs" mysteries) provides
vivid descriptions through O'Keeffe's eyes that bring the setting
and timeframe to life." --Lesa Holstine, Library Journal Review
"Georgia O'Keeffe as an amateur sleuth? A daring idea that works
like a charm for the highly talented Kathryn Lasky. What a wide
range of characters, from the very good to the very bad, she brings
to life in this wonderful novel! And the portrait of the artist is
superb." --Peter Abrahams, author of The Tutor
"Kathryn Lasky draws Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico with her own
skillful hand. The deftest of efforts, Light On Bone gives us a
murder mystery as seen through the mind of a mid-century artist
free enough from convention to catch what others miss. I couldn't
put it down." --Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked
"Kathryn Lasky's vivid Light on Bone applies the extraordinary eye
of Georgia O'Keeffe to overlapping mysteries in 1930s New Mexico.
O'Keeffe's righteous vision does not flinch from the truth, and we
follow her gaze in fascination through this masterfully woven
story." --Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of
Judgment and House on Fire
"Step aside Miss Marple, Eugenia Potter, and Kinsey
Millhone--Georgia O'Keeffe is the new sleuth in town! Kathryn Lasky
brings the rich imagination of her YA and Juvenile books to Light
On Bone, a stunning, suspenseful adult mystery. Vivid prose
brushstrokes bring the legendary artist, the Southwest landscape
she loved, and a complicated plot with historical and imagined
characters to life." --Katherine Hall Page, author of the
award-winning Faith Fairchild series
