"Twin Peaks meets
The Da Vinci Code in this surpassingly weird debut."
- Kirkus Reviews
"This is one of those novels that is better than its summaries make it
sound.
Kilgore is a persuasive writer with a stark, stripped-down style: we
believe the story because he sells it to us.
Balancing always on
the edge of surrealism, the novel is a kind of
existential thriller, an exploration of what makes a person whole,
posing as a story about a bunch of people looking for a mysterious
woman. Intriguing stuff."
- Booklist
"Evan Kilgore’s debut novel is an amazing piece of work. From the fist
few lines it feels like something a little different, something special.
Kilgore has a wonderful ability to draw in the reader...
The characters are people that you are instantly interested in and
care about, and the way they keep circling each other is pure genius,
like a avant-garde ballet choreographed by a genius madman.
The descriptions in the book took me to the place the characters went
and are still in my head. This book is going to stay with me for some
time to come."
- Crime Spree Magazine
"After
the first couple pages the hook has been set, the other books get set
aside. The fascinating plot premise evolves as 5 different people, in
different parts of the country, for different reasons, become obsessed
with a girl they have never met....
[I was] up late into the night, not able
to put the book down...As a mix of mystery, thriller, sci fi and
adventure, Evan Kilgore seems to be creating a new genre...
Kilgore is able to elevate the mundane thriller into a work of
thoughtful activity that forces the reader to examine it form all
directions. The writing maintains the pace of the story without letting
the suspense fade throughout."
- Front Street Reviews
"A
strange journey in a book I personally found fascinating...
Unusual and very
enjoyable...
Thanks for a great read."
