Editorial Reviews

“Well-imagined and includes several surprises and turns. For a short novel, the story is quite robust and provides enough detail to fill in all of the gaps and then some. Highly Recommended.”

CM: Canadian Review of Materials

“A wonderfully dark and gritty story with all the elements readers crave in a noir novel…And it will leave every reader craving more.”

The British Columbia Review

“A twisty noir mystery that will keep even the most reluctant of readers on the edges of their seats.”
