Stiletto Gang literary
blog, Jan. 7, 2010
describes Diane’s Naked Quaker book:
“This splendidly fun book runs down some of
the highlights of 17th-century
New England police blotter: violent
fisticuffs in church, highwaymen, sex
scandals, theft, cheating, witchcraft. I
mean, it might as well be an episode of
Maury.”
