"This is my first Emma Price novel and it assuredly won't be my last. It's not just Rand's taut and invigorating story-telling that is the draw but, more importantly, the character of Emma herself." --Stephanie Padilla, New Mystery Reader

"Naomi Rand has crafted a tight, gripping story with It's Raining Men. Her third mystery featuring Emma Price is right on the edge of frightening." --Les Roberts Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Naomi Rand capably handles this intricate story. For a change of pace from the cozy reads associated with many female adventures, it's not too late to catch up on the series and get to know Emma Price." --Maggie Harding, Book reporter

"Don't be fooled by the rock 'n' roll-tinged title that would be more appropriate on a light mystery or a cozy. It's Raining Men perfectly blends a hard-charging mystery with a realistic view of domestic life comoplete with all it's trappings, frustrations and rewards." --Knight Ridder Newspapers

Nobody said it was going to be easy. As a single mom raising two children, and in her job as investigator for New York Capital Crimes Division, Emma Price is used to frustration, disappointment and heartbreak. Still, she's never expected that someone would try to murder her. Yet that's what the two men who abducted her on a busy street one night intended -- even though it turned out that they had mistaken her for someone else.

While Emma manages to escape, her boss and good friend Dawn Prescott -- the killers' real target -- is not so fortunate. She is found strangled to death in a rundown Long Island motel, together with the body of an unidentified man. Since he has been shot with Dawn's pistol, the cops are willing to write the deaths off as a love affair gone sour.

Emma knows her longtime friend too well to buy that theory. She begins to dig into the case and promptly meets surprising resistance. The police lieutenant running the investigation resents her interference. Dawn's estranged father, a conservative U.S. senator, would like to see the matter swept under the rug. Legendary film producer Gregory Chavitz and his unscrupulous attorney attempt to discourage her from delving into the past. Even Emma's ex-husband joins the opposition for self-serving reasons. Although it puts her life in jeopardy, Emma takes them all on.

This is the third installment of Naomi Rand's Emma Price series, and it's a dandy, cleverly conceived and deftly delivered, with a heroine for our times, a woman both admirable and fallible and, either way, unfailingly good company.--San Diego Union-Tribune
