Jeffery Deaver, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Roadside
Crosses"
"This book is a hands-down winner! Psychological terror at its
best, "13 1/2" shines with authentic voices, high-amp tension, and
Barr's brilliant and unique style."
Lee Child, "New York Times" bestselling author
"Stunning ... spellbinding psychological suspense with twists you
won't see coming ... an amazing, virtuoso piece of writing."
"Library Journal"
"Keep the lights on while reading this intense psychological
thriller. The tension's so tight you'll be rethinking every motive
and clue up to the finale. Much like Nancy Pickard in "The Virgin
of Small Plains," Barr forces us to look beyond the obvious to the
hidden evils we may have overlooked."
"Delta Magazine"
..".terrifying...page-turning...."
"Romantic Times," 4 stars
..".a hair-raising thriller.... packs a powerful punch."
"Booklist"
"Barr process adept at both pulsing horror and sweet romance....
[for] readers who like dark psychological thrillers."
"Sun-Sentinel" (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
Barr skillfully shows her affinity for delving into her characters'
souls in 13 1/2. Barr keeps the psychological terror elevated in
"13 1/2" by realistically showing how people can be manipulated -
by others and by the juvenile justice system."
"New Orleans Magazine"
""13 1/2" is a glorified thriller that will tease and please lovers
of the genre..."
"Charlotte Observer"
"Barr's vibrant prose keeps you reading....irresistible."
"Denver Post"
"Reminiscent of novels by Thomas Harris and Minette Walters....will
send shivers up the spine of even the toughest reader....Barr adds
interstitial musings about well-known murders throughout history
that are so stone-cold they could make Hannibal Lector blanch in
fear."
"Providence Journal"
..".a brilliantly harrowing effort.... "13 1/2" feels better
written and more richly drawn than Barr's very good Anna Pigeon
efforts. Certainly a new direction and one that takes her on a
genre-bending course to evil and depravity in this downright
chilling tale."
"Oregonian"
"Barr's smooth storytelling style keeps the tension at a
heart-pounding level..."
