Recenzii

A searing story about race and class. Locke's writing is exceptionally vivid, bringing to life her characters' anxieties at a time when white supremacy feels like a growing threat
Written against the backdrop of Trump's America, Guide Me Home is a dark portrait of the nation's ever-present racial tensions by one of its finest crime writers
Lyrical, complex and deeply engaged with the simmering tensions beneath (and above) the surface of American life, this is top-quality crime fiction
Powerful and distinctive... Locke's juggling of societal wrongs and a turbulent crime narrative is as sure-footed as ever
A suspenseful mystery and a searing portrait of race and justice in America
This is compelling political crime fiction
Locke's writing skills shine through in this crime thriller
Vivid and affecting
A rich and satisfying conclusion to one of the great American crime series... Guide Me Home is thrilling historical crime fiction and concludes a series that has much to say about a period of history that still feels like a chaotic blur, even as it threatens to return
Locke wraps up her remarkable series with authenticity and wisdom
A powerful finale to an unforgettable series
A powerful conclusion to her Highway 59 trilogy, Attica Locke's Guide Me Home should earn her new readers... A deeply impressive, moving novel and a highlight of the year
Fearlessly blends the political with the emotional... A novel destined to reflect its time but timeless in its skill, honesty and hope
At once a gripping thriller and a blistering portrait of racial tensions in Trump's America
Beautiful... I stand in awe of Attica's prose - surely one of the finest wordsmiths currently working in literary crime
A fantastic piece of work. I love a damaged hero and that's exactly what we get with Darren Matthews, a real old-time cowboy. All the characters are vivid and heartfelt, the plot is compelling, and the on point socio-political commentary adds an extra resonance that elevates this novel onto a rarified plane
An atmospheric slow burn
A strong political thread runs through the novel... You will savour this clever and well-written trilogy
The triumphant finale to Locke's Highway 59 trilogy... A searing portrait of political and racial tensions in Trump's America
A dystopia of racism, business manipulation and prejudice soon come to the fore in a novel that has much on personal relations, notably between Darren and his mother, former wife, and current partner. Well-written and interesting, this is a good book
Locke resolves the loose ends of her award-winning trilogy of novels set along East Texas' Highway 59 in ways at once gratifying and unsettling... We've missed Attica Locke's deft and wise way with the crime novel
Attica Locke has produced another must-have... Compelling detective fiction with plenty to say about Trump's America
