Critics Review
“I’ve been reading Wallace Stroby for years and he never disappoints.”–Lawrence Block, bestselling author of the Matthew Scudder mysteries
“Wallace Stroby is one of the best writers in crime fiction, and he outdoes himself with HEAVEN IS A LIE. A lightning-paced noir tale with shatteringly tender moments, the book had me losing sleep as I rooted for tough, whip-smart, big-hearted Joette Harper– my favorite heroine in quite a while.”
–Alison Gaylin, internationally bestselling author of If I Die Tonight
“A masterpiece. This is a honed razor of a thriller, a must for fans of No Country for Old Men, that poignantly captures the grit of everyday life in my home state.”
–Matthew Quirk, bestselling author of The 500 and The Night Agent
“Tight, taut, and terrifying. In Heaven’s a Lie, the action blisters along at a furious pace.”
–Kathy Reichs, author of the bestselling Temperance Brennan Bones series
“Tough and touching…Blue collar grit meets noir, then takes a wild turn down the finders-keepers crime alley…. Heaven’s a Lie has primal appeal, a perfect read in this wobbly world.”
–Joe R. Lansdale, author of Edgar Award-winning The Bottoms and the Hap & Leonard series
