32nd Annual Reading the West Book Awards NomineeNamed Best Mystery Thriller in the 2021 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards A Library Journal Title to Watch"Outside your usual police detective procedural . . . Part thriller, part mystery, and part rumination of history and heritage." &mdash;Dana Welshans, MPR News"All the characters you could possibly run into in southern Utah are in this book . . . Picnic in the Ruins is a mystery, a thriller, a dark comedy, and most importantly a narrative on the west as it is now, a complex place dealing with it&rsquo;s history, it&rsquo;s mythology and ownership. It&rsquo;s a romp." &mdash;Marya, Out West Books, The Colorado Sun"A romp populated with a cast of eccentric characters and marked by extreme moments of dark humor [and] delicious irony." &mdash;Allen Pierleoni, The OC Register"Petersen's tightly written mystery plays out over the vast, unforgiving terrain on the Utah-Arizona border with a lineup of unforgettable characters . . . Petersen delivers a fast-paced chase over a hostile landscape while underscoring the past and present threats to Native American antiquities. Hang on tight and enjoy the ride." &mdash;Library Journal (starred review)&#160;"A rollicking mystery . . . Peterson keeps up plenty of action and suspense while also offering philosophical insights on who owns the land. Peterson&rsquo;s offbeat adventure keeps the reader turning the pages." &mdash;Publishers Weekly"Part mystery; part quirky, darkly funny, mayhem-filled thriller; and part meditation on what it means to 'own' land, artifacts, and the narrative of history in the West . . . A fast-paced, highly entertaining hybrid of Tony Hillerman and Edward Abbey." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews"Blending dark comedy and crime fiction, Petersen examines a moment in time that exquisitely reveals timeless and far-reaching themes . . . An excellent read for those who enjoy thrillers set in the Southwest and readers interested in the preservation of history and culture." &mdash;Booklist&#160;"Fantastic . . . This isn&rsquo;t just a thriller&mdash;it&rsquo;s also one of&#160;the&#160;funniest books I have read&#160;in&#160;years . . . This is a perfect read for fans of Elmore Leonard, William Boyle, and&#160;The&#160;Coen Brothers." &mdash;Liberty Hardy, Book Riot"Picture a Tony Hillerman-style tableau: a red rock desert beneath a deep azure sky, imbued with the history of the sacred rituals and artifacts of the Southern Paiute. Now add a Tim Dorsey or Carl Hiaasen-esque overlay, awash in desiccated Ford pickup trucks, characters who embody the word 'characters,' ulterior motives and belly-rumbling hilarity, and you&rsquo;ll get an idea of the strange trip you&rsquo;re about to embark on . . .&#160;Beneath all this, Petersen poses some intellectual questions, such as who really 'owns' land, what rights and responsibilities such ownership conveys and how the inevitable collisions between titled owners, the public good and the ancient claims of sacred ground should be addressed." &mdash;Bruce Tierney, BookPage"[A] darkly comic, madcap thriller with overarching social themes . . . Picnic is wildly creative and easily envisioned." &mdash;Lauren O'Brien, Shelf Awareness"In this twenty-first-century fusion of Zane Grey, Tony Hillerman, and Craig Childs, Todd Robert Petersen gives us a page-turner of a murder mystery." &mdash;Stephen Trimble, editor of Red Rock Stories"A murderously addictive thrill-ride through the remote, rugged Utah-Arizona borderlands, where looting and vandalism of ancient cultural sites remain all too prevalent." &mdash;Scott Graham, National Outdoor Book Award-winning author of Mesa Verde Victim"Reading Picnic in the Ruins is like watching a Tarantino film&mdash;scenes unfold to reveal a cast of divergent characters who are destined to collide; and when they do, you won't want to look away. Todd Robert Petersen delivers a roller coaster of a book!" &mdash;Margaret Mizushima, award-winning author of the Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries, including Hanging Falls
