“The deeply conflicted Maureen, in particular, is brilliantly developed—as compelling a character as this reviewer expects to see this year.” —Thomas Gaughan, Booklist (starred review)
“A terrific drama . . . Loehfelm expertly ramps up the suspense, taking the reader on a dark ride . . .” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Bill Loehfelm’s new book just won’t get out of my mind. And the reason is Maureen Coughlin, the character of the year . . . At its base, this wonderful book is about power and lack of it . . . [I hope Loehfelm will] launch this unforgettable woman into a series of her own.” —Diana Pinckley, The Times-Picayune
“In Maureen, Loehfelm has created an unlikely hero who is both appealing and believable . . . He tells [this] story in an original voice that is by turns gritty and lyrical . . . Rarely has a crime novelist launched a career with a trio of books that display such superior craftsmanship.” —Bruce DeSilva, The Associated Press
“At a bar, a tough city girl sees something she really shouldn’t see, and immediately there’s trouble—well-dressed, connected, and brazenly confident trouble. A tough city girl can get out of trouble, right? Not if she’s caught in a dark corner of Staten Island, New York City’s most tribal and secretive borough. So begins Bill Loehfelm’s page-ripping thriller, The Devil She Knows. It’s a fast, rough ride you can’t put down.” —Colin Harrison
“The Devil She Knows is nothing short of terrific. An absolutely original voice, and a story that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t ever, ever, ever even think of letting go.” —John Lescroart
“Bill Loehfelm, a rising star in crime fiction, just keeps rising higher: The Devil She Knows is a taut, knowing story, and Maureen Coughlin is a hero for the ages, a character who jumps off the page and demands the reader’s full attention and empathy from the very start.” —Laura Lippman
“A serious talent.” —The Baltimore Sun
