Review
""Christine Falls "is a triumph, of classical crime fiction, finely, carefully made, not a single false move or wrong word-- why oh why don' t they write books like this anymore."-- Alan Furst
"A page-turner told in prose so beautiful you'll want to read some passages repeatedly. Intricately plotted, beautifully written."--"The Boston Globe""" "Measured, taut, and transfixing . . . Benjamin Black's plotting is methodical, detailed, and always gripping. You can smell the smoke in Quirke's favorite pub and touch the cool walls in a Boston convent he later visits."--"USA Today" "Swirling, elegant noir . . . Crossover fiction of a very high order . . . Rolls forward with haunting, sultry exoticism . . . toward the best kind of denouement under these circumstances: a half inconclusive one."--"The New York Times
"
"Offers a subtler, deeper satisfaction than just finding out whodunit. . . . What's most disconcerting of all about "Christine"" ""Falls"" "is the atmosphere of moral claustrophobia enveloping it."--"The Philadelphia Inquirer
"
"A dark, ambitious crime novel . . . It's going to make more than a few readers flip the book over to look at the author photo to make sure Banville's really pulling the strings."--"Newsday"""
"Crime fiction rarely lives up to the term 'literary, ' but ["Christine"" Falls"] is the happy exception."--"Entertainment Weekly"
