"Crime fiction hasn't seen a character as scrappy, mean, and incredibly appealing as Stella in a long time." --Entertainment Weekly "An abundance of violence is leavened with humor and heart in this debut novel in what I hope is the start of a new series." --Hallie Ephron, Boston Globe "Markedly original...The story's compelling, the dialogue perfect--and Stella is one of the most memorable characters of this summer or any other." --Richmond Times-Dispatch "A Bad Day for Sorry is another of the year's best debuts, a standout mystery distinguished by its charming protagonist and her compelling voice. We don't get many characters like Stella in mystery fiction, but we should. She's fresh and sassy and an awful lot of fun to read about." --David J. Montgomery, Chicago Sun-Times "In her debut novel, Sophie Littlefield shows considerable skills for delving into the depths of her characters and complex plotting as she disarms the reader.....Littlefield keeps the plot churning with realistic action that doesn't let up....Littlefield's exciting debut should be the start of an even more exciting series." --South Florida Sun-Sentinel
