Critics Review
“… Deering’s command of the creepiness will keep readers engrossed. A claustrophobic, tense tale of destructive desire.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Propelled by the art of rowing and the complex timing of a love triangle, this is an unusual tale. Deering compels us to question if the lover ever was a lover, and then she brings him onto the family property. The Handyman is a complex web well-suited to our times.”
—Kathryn Trueblood, Take Daily As Needed
“The Handyman is an excellent novel. I couldn’t quit reading it. Deering’s adroitness with character development made them seem like friends to me, and I wanted to know what my new friends were going to do. Deering’s knowledge of rowing propels the story along and adds an interesting new element.”
―Bud Cooper, screenwriter, director, producer
“The Handyman is a compelling story of obsession and loss. The story’s cast of characters is beautifully flawed and at the same time endearingly familiar. This is one of those books that’s hard to put down and creates an urgency in the reader’s mind to return to the story to resolve questions and mysteries.”
―Sharon Y. Cobb, author of False Confessions of a True Hollywood Screenwriter
