The Station Master: A
Scheduled Death
"The Stationmaster, by
Luisa Buehler, provides the reader with an excellent "cozy" mystery -- one which
may have some minor flaws but overall is worthy of being listed right up there
with the likes of M. C. Beaton. Echelon Press, who published this novel, is a
fairly recent publishing contender, and one to watch. Ms. Buehler leads us
merrily down the proverbial garden path from one suspect to another, it's a
sufficient surprise: Enough to place Luisa Buehler among the ranks of the
better-known authors. I can easily recommend The Stationmaster to all
mystery readers; especially those who enjoy female sleuths or the less
"hard-boiled" type of book. But whatever your preferences, you'll find The
Stationmaster intriguing and difficult to put down."

"Grace Marsden returns in
Luisa Buehler's charming "The Station Master" and proves once again that
neither errant husbands, erstwhile lovers, nor a case of OCD can prevent her
from ferreting out the truth. A skeleton in an antique trunk is the starting
point, but the end result is a fine blend of intrigue, vivid description, and
quirky but compassionate characters. Don't miss it."

"Cutting-edge cozy. The
Station Master is filled with long-buried secrets, elaborate twists, and
nail-biting suspense. Buehler and Marsden just keep getting better and better."

"It has come a time for Janet
Evanovich to take a lesser seat and move over for Luisa Buehler, whose
characterization, setting, plot and twists in The Station Master are
simply enthralling. If you like your suspense cozy to be medium boiled, Buehler
has cooked up an excellent dish for her fans. I highly recommend The Station
Master and this series for its unique sleuth, strong voice, and crisp
storytelling."
