And the holy crap continues! In the UK, where the book is actually out in stores, there's a Sunday Times review (the most thrilling part of which is Peter Kemp remarking on my "tremendously described sandstorm." I kiss you, man!) And a beautiful Guardian review where Laura Wilson says it lives up to the first novel. Hooooo!!!!!!
<-- British cover, by the way. Totally beautiful, LB!
Meanwhile, there's Sarah Weinman's fantastic review on Salon.com. The novel also got a rec on DoubleX (thanks Helene for the heads-up) plus read Hanna Rosin's funny blog post about Sex and the City 2 and its completely awful take on Muslim men.
Now off to swoon.
I actually preferred it to your first novel. Especially the scenes involving the inspector and his wifes birth control pills. That was what brought home for me how much I enjoy these books, and the setting you've created. Well done.
