Missed this over the holiday break, but 13th Dimension, a fun site run by the esteemed Dan Greenfield, had a few nice things to say about SILENT CITY.
They included the book in their HOT PICKS Gift Guide:
Want a quick, taut thriller that’s been making the rounds? Check out the under-the-radar “Silent City,” by Alex Segura, about an on-the-edge journalist (I know a lot of those!) drawn into the seamy underbelly of Miami. Segura has a way with characterization and exhibits serious promise in his debut novel.
And reviewer Ed Catto had some nice words for the book as part of their “What I’m Reading” feature:
“Silent City,” by Alex Segura, Cordorus Press. I finished this mystery thriller – and it was fresh and fun! Thrills, chills, red herrings and rolling commentary about the drastically changing nature of newspaper reporting keep the reader engaged and saying “just one more chapter before I put this down.” And this novel kind of has its own soundtrack, as the lead character and narrator has deep knowledge of and love for music. A great start to new mystery series and I’m looking forward to more! P.S. Just when you thought you saw it all, this book offers very clever chapter headings/page design. (Dan here: This is a novel novel, not a graphic novel. I recommend it too!)
