Review

“Never showy, this is hard, gritty realism, and Price’s depiction of the twitchy psyche of an abused girl is dead-on. Serious thriller fans will be more than satisfied.” --Booklist

“...if suspense is your bag, this is a book to read.” --VOYA

“Both the best and worst of humanity shine through in this gripping novel.” --Publishers Weekly

"Relentless, heart-stopping suspense." --Kirkus Reviews

Praise for The Interrogation of Gabriel James:

Winner of the 2011 Edgar Award for Best Young Adult Novel

“The fast pace, dark mood, and well-plotted story line should have readers hooked.” —Publishers Weekly

"As with the finest interrogation dramas, like the movie The Usual Suspects, the final reveal is both satisfying and surprising, but it’s the well-structured and paced buildup that’s most worth relishing.” —Booklist

“The author writes intriguing and believable characters...The result is not only suspense but a memorable and believable characterization. Top notch.” —*Kirkus Reviews*
