Reviews

"A page-turner with depth and soul."--O, the Oprah Magazine, on Conviction

"Daredevil storytelling at its finest . . . Offers plot twists and zig-zags that take readers on a wild ride. . . . A giddy celebration of the art of storytelling itself."--Fresh Air, on Conviction

Praise for Conviction

"A dizzying swirl of activity, all relayed with Mina's signature blend of dry humor, creeping darkness, and sharp character observation."--CrimeReads

"A sophisticated, well-plotted entry in Mina's newest whodunit series, which has a lighter tone than the author's Paddy Meehan and Alex Morrow novels, but readers will recognize her fight-the-power commentary."--Booklist

"Another mind-bending, wise-cracking adventure across Europe and beyond...Mina packs in a dizzying array of surprises."--The Los Angeles Times

"Endlessly surprising... This incredible novel...seems to have been written in a white-hot rage.... Mina has always written with a head full of ideas and a mouth full of tough talk. Here, she's finally got a story big enough to hold it all together."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review, on Conviction

"Mina keeps the plot charging at a breathless pace, and Anna is an engagingly tart narrator. Even for true-crime podcasters, the truth is tough to find in this brisk, entertaining thriller."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"There's much page-turning excitement to this dangerous treasure hunt, as well as sardonic humor, sprightly turns of phrase and moments of breath-catching insight. Anna's own painful personal history often bubbles close to the surface, feeding her empathy for the damaged souls she encounters."--The Wall Street Journal

"True crime podcasters Anna and Fin find themselves embroiled in the case of a missing YouTube star in Mina's taut, suspenseful latest."--People
