Praise for Christine Falls:
"A dark, ambitious crime novel . . . It's going to make more than a few readers flip the book over to look at the author photo to make sure Banville's really pulling the strings."--Newsday
"Intricately plotted, beautifully written . . . a page-turner told in prose so beautiful you'll want to read some passages repeatedly."--The Boston Globe
"Measured, taut, and transfixing."--USA Today
"Swirling, elegant noir . . . Crossover fiction of a very high order . . . Rolls forward with haunting, sultry exoticism . . . toward the best kind of denouement under these circumstances: a half inconclusive one."--The New York Times
"Christine Falls offers a subtler, deeper satisfaction than just finding out whodunit. . . . What's scariest of all about Christine Falls is the atmosphere of moral claustrophobia enveloping it."--The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A redolent Catholic conspiracy that might stagger the author of The Da Vinci Code . . . more than a mere busman's holiday by a master of English prose."--Los Angeles Times
"A fascinating book, strong on mood and description."--The Oregonian
