RaveBooklistWinslow...once again offers a crime novel with breakneck pacing, a sardonic worldview, and a teeming cast of superheated characters ... Winslow feverishly indicts the U.S. war on drugs, tracing flawed policies that have cost DEA agents their lives yet failed to stop the flow of drugs across the border. Intricate plotting and manic energy power this page-turner.
Gillian Flynn
PositiveBooklist\"This impressive debut novel is fueled by stylish writing and compelling portraits of desperate housewives, southern style ... In a particularly seductive narrative style, Flynn adopts the cynical, knowing patter of a weary reporter, but it is her portraits of the town’s backstabbing, social-climbing, bored, and bitchy females that provoke her sharpest and most entertaining writing. A stylish turn on dark crimes and even darker psyches.\
