• Sacred Ground: News and Reviews... review by Joy Parks
  "Holy Hell by Elizabeth Sims offers readers a rare combination of a good mystery plot with solid writing, whole characters and dialogue that doesn’t sound like it’s been wrenched out of a bad made-for-TV-movie. There’s a wonderful irreverence to Sims' Lillian Byrd and a bizarre realism to the individuals she encounters."
