What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A strong debut that combines a tight plot (about a deadly double-cross in the woods of Michigan) with memorable characters and dialogue—come to think of it, not unlike what Leonard’s father, Elmore Leonard, creates.” * Seattle Times *“Quiver is a spectacular debut….With a large cast of characters—each presented as meticulously as an Andrew Wyeth portrait—and numerous points of view, all funneling inevitably to a stunning conclusion, you will be holding your breath until the final page. Peter’s dad should be proud.” – Otto Penzler, owner of The Mysterious Bookshop“While he will always face comparisons with his legendary father, Elmore Leonard, the author (Quiver; Trust Me; Voices of the Dead; All He Saw Was the Girl) continues to establish himself as one of today’s better mystery writers. Easily readable in a single sitting, Leonard’s fifth novel will appeal to fans of mystery, thrillers, and the Leonard name.” * Library Journal *“If you haven’t read Leonard before—and you must—this is a great place to start.” * The Guardian *“A deftly crafted and simply riveting read from beginning to end by an author who is a master of narrative driven storytelling, Peter Leonard’s Raylan Goes to Detroit is very highly recommended and unfailingly entertaining.” * Midwest Book Review *
