Critics Review
Advance Praise for Abigail Trench:
“With an eye for remarkable detail clearly anchored in deep historical research, master storyteller Randy Overbeck delivers a rousing, top-notch tale of courage amid our nation’s struggle for independence. Overbeck offers readers an array of memorable characters who struggle to make their way in a young New York City beset with Redcoats, poverty, garbage, and a populace bitterly divided between rebels and loyalists.”
—William Kent Kreuger, New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author
“Overbeck has crafted an outstanding work of historical fiction in which he brings those dangerous and daring times of the Revolutionary War alive. The character of Abigail Trench is a model of courage and resilience not just for the Revolutionary era but for our times as well. Outstanding!”
—James R. Benn, author of the Billy Boyle WWII mysteries
“It is particularly rewarding to see a female character written this way without distortion or excess, and her contribution is neither overstated nor diminished, but simply acknowledged as essential to the larger story. A very nicely crafted historical drama.”
—Reader Views
“With its textured world building, escalating tension, and emotionally grounded heroine, Abigail Trench delivers a high intensity read that highlights both the brutality of war and the bravery found within it.”
—Still Moments Magazine
“Abigail Trench is an accessible, vivid piece of historical fiction that blends Revolutionary War intrigue with a personal story of survival and self-invention. It’s a story with grit, momentum, and real affection for the people history usually leaves at the edges.”
