Critics Review

Praise for Those Who Are Gone

“King has the mechanics of a police procedural down pat, and she heightens suspense with chapters from the perspective of an unnamed killer. This goes down smooth.”—Publishers Weekly

“Sisters, secrets and superb storytelling elevate Those Who Are Gone… .While [the novel] is a procedural, the dynamics between the sisters add another dimension to the plot… . King’s expert storytelling again shines.”—South Florida Sun Sentinel

“Those Who Are Gone is a first-rate novel and one of the crowning achievements of Laurie R. King’s career. In two short books, she has helped readers really get to know and appreciate such complex characters as Raquel and Dee. Storytelling like this should provide a long life for this series.”—Bookreporter



Praise for Back to the Garden


“Superb … starts strong and never loses momentum as it accelerates to an intense ending … Back to the Garden is storytelling at its best.”—South Florida Sun Sentinel

“[Laurie R.] King is back with a riveting new novel.”—CrimeReads

“Introduces a fresh new detective in [an] unpredictable mystery.”—PopSugar

“Laing’s investigation keeps the reader on the edge of their seat until the very last sentence… . Back to the Garden is the definition of a page-turner.”—Criminal Element

“King skillfully misdirects the reader as the action builds to a surprising resolution. [Laing] is a welcome addition to the ranks of contemporary female detectives.”—Publishers Weekly
