Industry Reviews

Praise for the series: TIN SKY is the best crime novel of the month. Terror and suspicion on the Eastern Front. We hail a bold series set in the Second World War. This fine novel is packed with tense moments and moral ambiguity. Times In TIN SKY Pastor effectively melds a well-constructed whodunit with a grim portrayal of the Eastern front. PW Starred Review A DARK SONG OF BLOOD is historical crime fiction at its best, vividly re-creating the atmosphere of a city occupied by an increasingly desperate army. Sunday Times The historical milieu of these books is grim, but Pastor s character examinations are precise and engrossing. Kirkus The tone of LIAR MOON has a flu-like grimness, appropriate the 1943 setting. Pastor is excellent at providing details (silk stockings, movie magazines, cigarettes) that light up the setting. Booklist Pastor succeeds at painting a memorable picture of Fascist Italy through the lens of ordinary police procedure carried out under extraordinary circumstances. Publishers Weekly An impressive and intelligent novel. The Times LUMEN s plot is well crafted, her prose sharp a disturbing mix of detection and reflection. Publisher s Weekly And don t miss LUMEN by Ben Pastor. An interesting, original and melancholy tale. Literary Review "
