"CASE HISTORIES combines the suspense of a whodunit with the richly
textured plot of a sprawling family saga. The result is top-notch
literature - an unforgettable, unclassifiable read."--Elisabeth
Egan, Chicago Sun-Times
"CASE HISTORIES is so exuberant, so empathetic, that it makes most
murder-mystery page-turners feel as lifeless as the corpses they're
strewn with."--Jacqueline Carey, New York Times Book Review
"Grabs hold of the reader and doesn't let go. . . . CASE HISTORIES
winds up having more depth and vividness than ordinary thrillers
and more thrills than ordinary fiction."--Janet Maslin, New York
Times
"Not just the best novel I read this year, but the best mystery of
the decade. . . . I defy any reader not to feel a combination of
delight and amazement."--Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
"One of the most enjoyable books in a long time."--Leslie McGill,
Kansas City Star
