Media reviews

“With Laurence Gough and his series featuring Vancouver cops Jack Willows and Claire Parker…it’s fine to know you’re about the spend several hours in a world of delicious characterizations, fast, complex plots, and best and most important of all, writing as light and flaky as excellent pie crust.”
London Free Press

“Laurence Gough is high on anyone’s list of the best authors in Canadian crime writing.”
Globe and Mail

“[Gough’s] detailed, hardbitten novels have set a new standard in Canadian crime writing.”
Windsor Star

“Gough has emerged as a master in the hard-boiled tradition.”
Ottawa Citizen

“[Gough’s]…murder mysteries are of the hard-boiled variety, but with a wickedly twisted brand of black comedy.…Wild and wingy rollercoaster rides.”
Vancouver Sun

“Gough is one of the most inventively reliable bloodsmiths in the trade.”
The Times (London)

“Gough is a real find.…For anyone into hard-boiled American fiction, try heading north of the border for a treat.”
Vox

“Gough’s work is laced with acid humour and tight-as-a-chokehold prose. If he lived in the U.S., he’d already be a superstar.”
Daily Post (Liverpool)
