Review Quotes

"Amy Tector has created a fascinating, hugely likeable main character in Jessica Novak. The Foulest Things follows archivist Jess from discovering letters hidden in antique books, to the underbelly of the art world. With twists and turns, action and dashes of humor, we are sent on a literary joyride. I can only hope this is the start of a wonderful series." -Louise Penny, New York Times bestselling author of the Chief Inspector Gamache novels

"Readers will eagerly look forward to Jess's further adventures." --Publishers Weekly

"The Foulest Things raises the bar with hilarity, sophisticated prose, and delightfully drawn characters. Reminiscent of the great Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, lead character Jess Novak is as charming and quirky as she is smart and wily. I can hardly wait for the next entry in the Dominion Archives Mystery series. Highly recommended--be prepared for a wild ride as you laugh out loud!" --Daco S. Auffenorde, award-winning author of Cover Your Tracks

"The Foulest Things is a fast-paced romp through the world of archives, art history, and murder. Jess has to use her archivist training to solve a century-old mystery while also unraveling a present-day murder. A great read and the first in a series." --Wayne Ng, award-winning author of Letters from Johnny

"The first book in the Dominion Archives Mystery series is a marvel. It's impossible not to fall in love with Jess as she unravels secrets, solves mysteries, traces a tragic love story unveiled in letters, and begins to find her own footing in Ottawa's national archives. Well-researched and filled with tension, The Foulest Things is truly unputdownable." --Lindsay Zier-Vogel, author of Letters to Amelia
