“Her plot flows well and her characters are delicately honed.”—Margaret Boswell—State Journal Register.

“Miller’s prose is straightforward and readable” – Joan Drury

“[Trudy is] an ordinary woman struggling to support herself and her mutt dog on what she makes as a cab driver. . . . Dispatch to Death is a great get-wrapped-u[-in-a- quilt-on-a-chilly-evening with a cup of hot chocolate and marshmallows on the table beside you.  Martha Miller’s writing is crisp, clear, and unmuddled. . . . Her characters are three-dimensional and real, and the plot is a dizzying series of twists that keeps the reader guessing until the low-key, satisfying conclusion.”—Ruth Sims, author of The Phoenix.  

“Trudy Thomas wants one thing out of life—well, maybe two.  The first thing is to drive a cab.  The second is to have a lasting relationship.  She has just failed at the second, and the first is in jeopardy when she picks up a mysterious fare named Anita Alvarez. . . . Miller’s tale is full of oodles of close scrapes, wonderful character development, much angst and pain on Trudy’s part, and love.  Trudy’s nemesis, Anita, is by contrast a poor little rich girl whose father would throw her to the wolves to expand his drug-riddled emptier.  Dispatch to Death is a mystery chock full of action, treacherous roads, slimy motives, and Trudy’s path to a more enriched existence.  It is a truly enjoyable read, and Trudy’s pursuit of a suitable mate is touching and full of classic moves and countermoves in the love game.  Miller deserves a big thumbs up for this well-concocted tale.” – Shelley Goldowiski The Midwest Book Review
