Critics Review
Advance Praise for A Good Man on a Dark Night:
“Thrillingly readable and terrifyingly plausible … Flynn Berry pens an Everywoman heroine to root for in a single mother and private nurse who must learn to navigate a terrifying new world of lies, rebellion, and murder before it claims her as its next victim.” —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Briar Club
“I recommend Flynn Berry’s books more often than any other writer on earth. I am perpetually searching for the next perfect literary mystery: one that combines immaculate prose and a hypnotic plot with a brilliant woman at its center. If Flynn wrote them fast enough (it’s a wonder she has already written so many of such stellar quality), I would read no one else. Her latest takes on the dark machinations of the state as they threaten a devoted single mother and I gulped it down in one day.” —Melissa Febos, national bestselling author of Girlhood and The Dry Season
“Surprising, beautifully written, and emotionally resonant, A Good Man on a Dark Night is Berry’s best yet. It’s both a chilling spy thriller and a rich portrait of one woman—a nurse, friend, and mother—fighting for her place in the world. I couldn’t put it down.” —Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here and The Last Ferry Out
“A Good Man on a Dark Night is such a good book! It sucked me into a world where reality battles with paranoia, where it’s impossible to distinguish between friend and foe. The most frightening part? This could actually happen.” —Tess Gerritsen, author of The Martini Club series
