Meet Forensic Geologist Em Hansen

My latest mystery "find" is Em Hansen, an engaging protaganist who is an inspiration for all women. She is a forensic geologist trying to exist in the rough and rowdy male world of the oil business. She constantly battles stereotypes and is (most of the time) successful at winning the battles. In A Fall in Denver, the second Em Hansen novel written by Sarah Andrews, Em begins her new job as a Geologist at Blackfeet Corporation in Denver, Colorado, where she is the newest employee and nothing seems to make sense. Em struggles to fit in at a place where no one seems to take her seriously--she feels more at home in jeans than corporate tweed and would much rather be riding her horse on her ranch in Wyoming. On Em Hansen's first day at work, a twenty-seven-year-old accountant plunges from the sixteenth floor of her building, and Em's curiosity takes over as she tries to figure out the accountant's ties to Blackfeet Corporation and his motivation for committing suicide. This is truly engaging mystery story and an author not to be missed.
