A review by bjerz
North of Montana by April Smith

3.0

I'm thinking North of Montana is about, uh, what state is north of Montana? But no, it refers to a section of Los Angeles, the fancy dancy section, where the movie stars and doctors live. The main character, Ana Grey, is an FBI agent and pretty looney. She wants out of her bank robbery section so badly that she is willing to work on a fluff job, investigating the claims of an actress desparately trying to keep from going to seed. The side story of her (possible) long lost distant cousin, gunned down in the mean streets, keeps Ana crossing from the mansions to the slums and back.

A good first book, but hardly the "Terrific Novel" that Scott Turow talks about on the cover.
