Esmeralda gets involved in solving the reason for the death of her high school friend's niece--who dies off the same cliff her friend jumped off 20 yr previously. Es is an ecopsychiatrist: one who uses a connection with nature to give her insights and to nurture healing in her patients. Fischer's writing style reflects Es's thought patterns interestingly, and her thought patterns reflect the nature of the land around her: small earthquakes and land slides which require constant adapting and "going with the flow".

[Falling into Green: an Eco-Mystery] by [[Cher Fischer]]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. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I was excited to receive this book through the Early Reviewer's program. I don't normally read a lot of mysteries, but I'm pretty passionate about the environment, so I was interested to see how well the "eco" fit in to an eco-mystery.As it turned out, I thought that the environmental angle was a bit heavy-handed. 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. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I enjoyed the book. I found myself getting caught into the story and the author created a place I wanted to visit.. It made me want to learn more about our impact on the earth and longterm changes we are creating. I also enjoyed the sense of understanding that you developed of the characters. My only really downside with the book was that I felt that the eco aspect got in the way of the story. I found it a little bit frustrating at times. I will definitely be watching for more books by Cher Fischer. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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. ( )
