(  ) juniperSun | Feb 1, 2013 |  Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.This is the first of a new mystery series with a main character who strives to live her life in a manner that respects and protects the environment. She has a private practice as a therapist whose main focus is ecopsychology. The main story revolves around our need for water, and specifically focuses on ocean water. It addresses the struggle we seem to experience with maintaining the American lifestyle without destroying ourselves. Of course one can run a profitable business without harming the environment, even one that helps the environment, but not one that does both if greed is involved. This is a good solid mystery. The individual struggle of the main character in living her daily life in an environmentally sensitive manner is threaded throughout. Sometimes I can become a little overwhelmed and hopeless with this struggle, but this character simply moves along, working hard to do what she can, and letting the rest go. I find that inspiring and intend to follow this series. I think it will keep me working in that direction, in whatever small ways I can. Oh - and there ARE dead bodies involved! This review is based on an ebook given to me by the publisher.

The little eco-type details that were added in sometimes pulled me out of the story. That being said, I did like the environmental angle to the mystery itself. Overall, it was not a bad read, but not one I'd put at the top of the "to read" pile.

But when a body is found below the crumbling cliffs near her Los Angeles home, she is pulled back in time to a tragedy that defies all understanding.When a young girl is murdered at the same cliff that took the life of her best childhood friend, Ez suspects the two are connected -- and, having always lived up to her ecological name, she has learned to trust her intuition and the cues that the natural world can offer. In fact, from her hybrid car to her organic diet, Ez is living a sustainable life in every way -- except for the man she's falling in love with, an attractive TV news reporter who drives, of all things, a Hummer.After Ez discovers a key piece of evidence, she is swept into a maze of corporate corruption and family secrets whose depths seem to have no bounds. As she finds herself venturing into ever more treacherous territory, her intuition and psychological skills can take her only so far. With the memory of her childhood friend haunting her at every turn, Ez finds herself falling further and further into danger.Both an eco-mystery and a love story, Cher Fischer's captivating debut novel offers an intimate look at the myriad ways in which nature defines us.

The life of an eco-psycholoanalyst is about to head into a whirlwind of danger and deceit. The death of a family friend opens a portal to past tragedy and pain and unanswered questions that put her own life in peril. No one around her is free from suspicion; there is no one she can completely trust or turn to except herself.
Along the way, we learn of many aspects of climate change and its effect on our ecosystems and about how important going green is in the fight to save the planet.
Having received this book as a Library Thing Early Reviewers selection some years back, while I regret being extremely delinquent in reading and reviewing it; in some ways I'm glad that I read it from the perspective of the current time. The signs, symptoms and warnings of climate change are all too familiar to a Californian from today's vantage point and those aspects of the story rang jarringly true to form. When the book first came out, I don't think I was aware enough, or even ready to be receptive to what now is an accepted fact of life. (
