Praise for Killing Godiva’s Horse
“. . . a pull-no-punches tale of the struggle with outsiders versus residents, urban versus rural, and traditional versus modern. Mitchell gives as balanced a glimpse of the issues, the politics, and the spirit of the West and Kenya in this novel as one will find anywhere . . . He shows how all sides will often find themselves in a different cut of the ‘emperor’s new clothes.’ A good read.”
—Mark Lehnertz, Tattered Cover Book Store, Denver, Colorado
Praise for The Height of Secrecy
“An engaging mystery with strong characters and a wonderfully authentic setting in the Southwest. Keep your eye on this nascent series.”
—Colorado Authors’ League 2015 Award for Mainstream Fiction
“Loved it! A mystery with strength and realism. Mitchell’s background leads to blended masterpieces of plot, setting and characters, complete with insider authenticity. He’s got a good series going.”
—Betty Palmer, op. cit. books, Taos, New Mexico
“This was a fun read. The characters are believable, the rescue and fire scenes ring true, and Mitchell worked in the agency long enough so that he knows how things can go bad. . . .”
—Ranger: The Journal of the Association of National Park Rangers
“What Grisham does for law and the courtroom drama, Mitchell does for national parks and the politics of land and preservation. His behind-the-scenes knowledge of the subculture creates a believable setting that blends seamlessly with the story.”
—Isaac Mayo, Developmental Editor
Praise for Public Trust
“In Public Trust, J. M. Mitchell brings a richness to the wilderness mystery that’s not to be missed. Fire starts the novel and it burns fast and furious, but pales to the political firestorm that becomes a battle for nature herself.”
—Nevada Barr, New York Times best-selling author
“[S]o real you think you’re reading nonfiction. . . . This is a good read.”
—Ranger: The Journal of the Association of National Park Rangers
