[S]tories that deftly slip into the lives of everyday New Yorkers . . . gorgeously nuanced. . . . Moss’ ability to probe the rich, complicated depths of those the city views as ordinary—its doormen, library workers, waitresses, and bench-sitters—and capture the profound currents of emotion found in the everyday animates this collection and makes it uniquely illuminating. Definitely worth reading.
—Kirkus

Mara's dogged curiosity and integrity give the novel an appealing energy. She's an engaging heroine. . . . Blauner often reaches for a quirky expression of detail that sometimes creates a charming image . . . and sometimes verges on silly … but when her writing is at its clearest and simplest, Mara's wonder at her journey and the people she meets springs off the page and welcomes the reader into her world.

“A taut, compelling portrait of a small town’s underbelly. With sinister imagery and crisp, evocative prose, Dower pulls back the cloak of 1950s ‘innocence’ to expose the ugly secrets that lie in wait, teeth grown sharp in the dark.”

“Think Mad Men but even madder.”

Ligon handles this latticework with impressive fluidity and dramatic momentum, the disparate voices lacing the novel with the melancholy of aborted and fractured love
—New York Times Book Review

“Unsettling.... Ligon’s is a convincing presentation of human nature. Nikki laments at one point, “We’d end up getting married … and I would shrink a little every year and lose pieces of myself until there’d be nothing left. But wasn’t that what happened to everyone?” Fear is what’s driven Nikki in the past, and now her past has caught up with her with a vengeance.”

“Smelcer clearly knows his way around Alaskan mountains.”
—David Roberts, author of The Mountain of My Fear, etc.

“Like Hill’s superb debut, East of Denver (2014), this one isn’t really a crime novel, but it surely is a damn fine, if distinctly peculiar, country noir.
—Booklist
