Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“This is an outstanding sextet in which—praise be!—‘love and loyalty trump the law.’ It is fast, furious, and very funny.” —Sunday Times (London)
“Winslow, whose work includes a dozen of the finest crime novels written in the last twenty years, displays all of his strengths, including propulsive narration, compelling characters, and a tight, staccato writing style, in Broken, a collection of six remarkable novellas.” —Associated Press
“Narrators Kaleo Griffith and Ray Porter perfectly match the noir tone and rhythms of low-life characters who come into the world the same but leave broken…Relentless cops chase high-end thieves who are portrayed by Porter with an audible sneer and a stifled laugh. Griffith uses a lighter tone and a more authoritarian delivery, creating sympathy for the lost, broken souls.” —AudioFile
“A greatest-hits album but with all-new melodies: what could be sweeter?” —Booklist (starred review)
“There are so many good lines in these yarns…Each story line will keep readers entertained with wit, humor, and occasional sadness…A great collection of short crime fiction.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“With…insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that will become classics of crime fiction. Winslow is probably the most talented author, speaking purely from a writing standpoint, working today.” —Real Book Spy
