What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Nantucket Sawbuck is a rare delight—a well-written small-town mystery that feels like life, complete with suspects who are the sort of people who commit murders and a police chief who’s capable of catching them at it. Read this book.” - Thomas Perry
“Axlerod is a full speed, powerhouse of a writer.” - Domenic Stansberry, Edgar Award-Winning Author of Naked Moon
“Kennis is an honorable small-town cop whom readers will root for.” - Karen Keefe, Booklist
”…this is a promising start for a new author.” - Publishers Weekly
“Axelrod has a gift for characterization and a strong lead in Kennis. Nantucketers might bristle at the cynical portrait of their home, but his mystery debut gives the island as much personality as its varied inhabitants.” - Kirkus Reviews
