Review Quotes




"[Armstrong] has created a grittier character in Mercy Gunderson....Fans of the Collins mysteries should embrace this new novel with open arms, but the author could pick up some new readers, too, on the strength of this new heroine."-- "Booklist"

"[A] smartly written, high-velocity tale."-- "The Wall Street Journal"

"Mercy Gunderson [is] a complicated and fascinating character whose presence in modern novels is way overdue."-- "USA Today"

"With a gutsy heroine, sharp humor, and a strong sense of place, Armstrong has created a winning series. The female veteran perspective is particularly fresh--not unlike a young V.I. Warshawski gone rural. Craig Johnson and C.J. Box fans should like it, too. Highly recommended."-- "Library Journal (starred review)"

"Mercy is one of the best female characters around, and you can quote me on that."--Lisa Gardner, author of Love You More and Live To Tell

"Mercy Gunderson shoots straight onto the list of my favorite heroines. A master of snappy dialogue and twisting plots, Lori Armstrong proves again why she is an award-winning author. [Her books are] a hard-edged, fast-paced, no-holds-barred roller coaster ride."--Allison Brennan, author of Original Sin and Fatal Secrets

"People always ask me what I read and I tell them Lori Armstrong. There comes a point when I need to read her like I need a shot of whiskey at the end of a hard day; Lori's writing is like that, unforgiving and deeply satisfying."--Craig Johnson, author of The Cold Dish and The Dark Horse
