Fisher wraps her intriguing drama in captivating characters and a well-developed plot that seizes you from the first sentence to the last. Through the Compass Crimes Series, I have fallen in love with the cast of characters and West of Famous can be read as a stand-alone or in sequence. With the third in the series, Fisher had established herself with the other great crime writers—her writing crisp and fast-paced. I can’t wait to see what blows in from the East!



West of Famous won the Bronze Award in the unpublished Thriller or Suspense Category.
Fisher weaves memorable characters into a twisted plot of deceit, revenge, and absolution that hooks you from the first wood and doesn’t turn you loose. This complicated family is one you’ll want to know more about from the pages of this and the other Compass Crimes series books; each written to be read as a stand-alone. I strongly recommend reading this book and then perhaps going back to read the first books too.
The novel is peopled with a range of interesting individuals and their interactions are both logical and well-reasoned so that readers will be eminently satisfied as the resolution looms ever closer. A thoroughly enjoyable crime novel.
West of Famous will keep you on the edge of your seat. This book has it all–great descriptions, strong, believable characters, and a page-turning plot that grabs you and doesn’t let go until the very end. Highly recommended.
Well written it reads quickly and simply can’t be put down. Action packed with so many twists and turns to keep readers on the edge of the seat. Well-rounded and developed characters, with a fabulously strong and great willed lead character, a perfect role model. Great suspense read.
