"...author Hunt rustles up more quirky characters, as well as bringing back a few first met in her debut novel, Sticky Fingers. Tess, a 40ish-something, amply endowed breast cancer survivor, has a keen wit and survivor's irony, which plays well off Lana's ditzy-but-no-fool sweetness." -- The Page Boy, Lavender Magazine, July 2008

"Tess is a fantastic main character - the kind of person you want as your best friend. She's loyal, tenacious and has a wonderfully off-the-wall brain with her musings about math, computers, sex, religion and music." -- Reviewing the Evidence, Sharon Wheeler, June 2008

"The mystery in this book is good and has some delightful red herrings to tantalize the reader, but the character development is what really makes it a winner....Even if you aren't a middle-aged California lesbian, I think you will see some part of yourself in Tess because her emotions are so universal and captured so well by Hunt. Favorite character? The remarkable Tess. Did I guess it? No. Will I read another? Definitely." -- Reviewed by Liz Website, April 22, 2008

"Throughout Fool On The Hill, Morgan Hunt weaves breast cancer survival and counterculture humor in this smart and sassy murder mystery.... This is definitely one to recommend to open-minded straight women who appreciate well-written murder mysteries." -- Armchair Reviews, Debra Kiefat

"You will be fooled--which is half the fun of reading a mystery. Morgan Hunt gets better and better as a writer. Three cheers." -- Rita Mae Brown, New York Times best-selling author

Hunt has created a perfectly imperfect heroine with the wild and wonderful Tess...She has survived breast cancer, but it is always present in her mind and a part of her character. Camillo...handles the breast cancer issues with the same unflappable, enjoying-life-to-its-fullest manner with which she confronts everything -- dead bodies, lovely women, and the endless parade of colorful characters in her life....From beginning to end, Fool on the Hill is a thrill ride full of Camillo wit, spine-tingling fun and one terrific escape from reality, Morgan Hunt-style. -- Jane & Jane Magazine, May 2008, LaRita Heet, Editor

This one is the whole package -- characters who continue to grow, a great story, wonderful writing, and wicked humor. -- OutSmart Magazine, May 2008
