Reviews

"Strong, blunt prose...a harrowing tale." --The New York Times Book Review "An absolutely crackling, unputdownable mystery told by a narrator with one big, booming voice. I loved it." --GILLIAN FLYNN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl "[An] impressive debut...Dahl's convincing dialogue and perfect pacing make for a real page-turner. And her storytelling skills illuminate the intriguing worlds of the tabloid press, Hasidism, the NYPD, and Brooklyn's 20-somethings--as well as the fragile boundaries of family, religion, and life itself." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Fast-paced, suspenseful...[Invisible City] rises above the crime-novel genre in its unusual psychological, spiritual and sociological dimensions, entering a world unfamiliar to most people." --The Washington Post "Bringing together the hyenas of tabloid journalism with the secretive, inwardly focused, self-protecting religious Jews, Dahl manages to demonize and humanize both, while delivering a riveting story. I sincerely hope there will be a sequel because after reading the last page, I wanted to know: What happens next?" --The Boston Globe "Masterly, pitch-perfect." --Haaretz "Surprising and uncompromising...This is riveting stuff indeed, and Dahl is a major talent." --BookPage
