Review

"Highly  recommended."  —Library Journal

"The writing is lean, linear, and concise . . . [the] understated treatment of setting gives credence to the theory that less detail can often mean more mood. . . . However, it is perhaps Emery's use of character dialogue that gives the book its weight, masterfully chronicling Collins's descent into his own personal underworld."  —Atlantic Books Today

"This is a wonderful yarn, full of amazingly colourful characters, dialogue that sweeps across the pages like a tsunami, a story that will keep you reading late into the night, and a plot as devious as a lawyer's mind."  —Waterloo Region Record

"Emery makes it easy to root for Monty, who solves not only the mystery that pays the bills, but also the one that tugs at his heart."  —Quill and Quire

"Anne Emery has given readers so much to feast upon in her latest novel. . . . She dares to challenge those readers who are so fond of anticipating the outcome of the plot. Barrington Street Blues should earn Anne Emery the right to fly first class from this point on."  —The Chronicle-Herald

"Emery builds on the strength of her first two novels to create another memorable tale."  —Shelf Life

"Arthur Ellis award–winning author Anne Emery succeeds admirably in bringing readers a compelling tale of crime and punishment involving characters of real substance and believability."  —Scene Magazine

"Combines a strong sense of place with a layered plot that holds your interest from the very first page. Deftly combing action and crackly dialogue, Anne Emery is an author to watch for."  —The Sherbrooke Record
