Reviews
Praise for the Frankie Elkin series "The prolific Gardner has come up with one of the most original characters in recent crime fiction, a woman readers can care about even while not being entirely sure of what to make of her."--Washington Post
A sharply written, tension-filled yarn full of twists readers are unlikely to see coming. The most compelling element, however, is the character of Frankie, a recovering alcoholic whose obsession with the missing is a penance of sorts for the burden of guilt and grief she carries over a past trauma that took the life of a man she loves."--Associated Press A masterpiece of post-modern noir.... A riveting stunner of a tale where the rare appearance of the sun shines down on what is certain to be one of the best thrillers of 2021."--Providence Journal "[An] outstanding crime novel.... Gardner pulls no punches in this socially conscious standalone."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Fans of this incredible author, police procedurals, timely immigrant stories, strong determined women, and tales that are not tied up with a pretty bow at the end will not be able to get enough of this intense page-turner."--Library Journal (starred review) "It's hard to tag just one stand-out element here, between the multidimensional portrayal of Mattapan's Haitian expat community, Frankie's humanizing demons and straightforward investigative technique, and a page-turning plot with all its ends tucked in unpredictably tight. Tense and immersive, Gardner's latest...is a sure bet both for readers drawn to gritty gumshoe fiction and for the growing legion of true-crime podcast fans."--Booklist (starred review)
