Awards/获奖情况:《图书馆期刊》评述
“… 休斯顿杰出的功力便是制定了一个很好的故事情节,来真实刻画出其系列悬疑小说中乡村主角那跌宕起伏的事件。”Hooray, Houston is back! After her last book, Dead Renegade, with its somewhat thin, convoluted plot, this latest book in the Loon Lake mystery series is back on track. All the regular characters (Lew, Doc Osborne, Ray Pradt) become involved with a shooting tied to a stalker and email hacker. The story moves quickly, my only wish was that there had been a fishing interlude. You may want to finish this one in one sitting.

Fishing, North Woods color mystery writers storiesBy Heather Lee Schroeder June 29, 2001 In her teens and 20s, mystery author Victoria Houston was the classic hometown girl who couldn’t wait to leave her small Wisconsin town. Now, more than 30 years later, she has not only returned to her hometown, Rhinelander, but she has based her popular mystery series in the region’s fishing culture. In fact, while Houston, 56, has changed course many times in her life, her travels and experiences seem to have led to only one logical conclusion: writing. Today, after being married twice, raising three children, having a successful career in publicity and promotions and writing five nonfiction books, Houston has reinvented herself yet again, this time as a mystery writer. This new phase is marked by focus and quiet, she says. It’s also marked by the success of the mystery series (including the books "Dead Angler" and "Dead Creek" ). The third novel, "Dead Water", has just been released. The series features a retired dentist and avid fisherman, Doctor Osbourne, as its protagonist. The doctor - who lives in a small mythical northern woods - often helps his friend and love interest Lewellyn Ferris, the local female chief of police, solve mysteries that revolve around fly and bait fishing and the deep waters of the North Woods. Houston says the lakes and culture of northern Wisconsin make for a great setting for her novels. "I realized this is a culture I grew up in", Houston says of her use of fishing in the novels. "The world of fishing is home to me". Indeed, Houston fished as a child and now fishes again regularly. In addition, her father, grandfather and uncle were all dentists. "My characters are distilled from all those characters I knew as I grew up", she says. In her early 40s, Houston made her first attempt to write the novel. At her agent’s behest she rewrote it - four times. Then she took a hiatus from writing and start
