Praise for Jerry Kennealy "Kennealy infuses even high-stakes moments with a sense of light-hearted fun, and the plot is trickier to puzzle out than one might expect." âPublishers Weekly on Jigsaw "It's fun to see Carroll squeezed between two cops who like him for two different crimes, and there's lots of trivia for Hitchcock buffs." âKirkus Reviews on Jigsaw "As always, Kennealy delivers hard-boiled excitement nicely dressed with humor and style." âBooklist on All That Glitters "Kennealy keeps a firm grip on his readers with a smart pace and a light, intelligent tone that's never cute. We're also treated to intriguing lore about investigating procedures in the electronic age, scenic and historic bits, and a lively background romance." âPublishers Weekly on Beggar's Choice "I can't wait 'til Kennealy's next novel hits the bookstores." âSan Francisco Examiner "A winner full of gritty policework and international intrigue. Kennealy makes San Francisco one of his main characters. His other characters ring true partly because of the realistic dialogue." âSan Francisco Examiner (The Conductor) "Enjoyable... action-filled." âPublishers Weekly (The Conductor) "Kennealy's characters, combined with his seasoned ability to weave several plot elements into a smooth whole... stand out in the thriller genre." âPublishers Weekly (The Suspect) "A crime thriller that has prize winner written all over it. Enthralling." âHarriet Klausner (The Suspect) âGRITTY.â âSan Francisco Examiner (The Other Eye) âACTION-FILLED.â âPublishers Weekly (The Other Eye)
