Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A lip biting and suspenseful thriller to the end.”   Wired
“The writing is crisp and suspenseful, and the dialogue is as sharp as ever.”   Guardian (London)
“A psychological thriller that will mess with your mind and leave you more than a little perturbed.”  Oklahoman
“Marshall sets a horrifying crime in the bucolic Florida Keys…The book is a mind-blowing combination of crime and horror, made all the more terrifying because the character doesn’t know why it’s all happening. Compelling and unnerving, it will make readers look a lot more closely at the people around them, and the startling climax will make them wonder if anyone really knows anyone.” RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
“Playing with expectations has always been Marshall’s forte. Here he takes a standard revenge thriller and whip-cracks it into something more satirical...this expertly constructed thriller exploits modern anxieties.”   Financial Times
“Marshall creates a noir feel to the narrative as he amps up the paranoia factor…a compelling read.”  Associated Press
“A subtle and unnerving story of the little things that can tip the balance of one’s life and send it spiraling into chaos.” Publishers Weekly

“Horrifying...[Killer Move] is a mind-blowing combination of crime and horror, made all the more terrifying because the character doesn’t know why it’s all happening. Compelling and unnerving, it will make readers look a lot more closely at the people around them.” RT Book Reviews
