Last Seen Alive is a psychological thriller that explores budding friendship, the nature of love when it’s built on lies, and the way things like vengeance or the desire to escape a bad situation can drive people to do despicable things.
Whistle in the Dark is a compelling novel. Healey is a heck of a writer who gives us an excruciatingly honest inside look at the parental psyche... Jen’s voice is splendidly, convincingly (and not always likably) real.
Keep the Midnight Out is well-written, atmospheric and often brooding. Alex Gray is definitely an author I will seek out again to appease my Ian Rankin fix for some terrific Scottish-based crime thrillers.
Ingenious and riveting, this is a book that should not be missed by anyone interested in the way love affects us, the way the past haunts us, and the way we trick ourselves into believing in impossible futures.
Overkill is what used to be called a 'ripping yarn,' one that you won’t be able to read fast enough.
Despite high praise in advance from Joyce Carol Oates, no less, this reader found the whole concoction too pat and almost entirely lacking in depth. Even Tangiers felt like a place of pro-forma exoticism.
Best Friends Forever is a super quick read that was the perfect thing for a lazy weekend hiding out from the cold.
A tightly plotted tale with characters that could energize a planned series.
Pochoda’s novel is compelling. While it’s true that readers hoping for a linear plot may be sorely disappointed, those searching for brilliant characterization will be delighted.
