Review:
Praise for "Reconstruction
""Mick Herron never tells a suspense story in the expected way, which is why his new novel, "Reconstruction," reads as much like a puzzle mystery as it does a thriller . . . unpleasant things are bound to happen, and they do--but not until Herron has finished surprising us."
"--The New York Times Book Review""
""Masterful . . . How Herron is able to tie all these events together will test the sleuthing ability of even the most savvy readers as one surprise engenders another. The intricate plot, coupled with Herron's breezy writing style . . . results in superior entertainment that makes most other novels of suspense appear dull and slow-witted by comparison."
""--Publishers Weekly"," Starred Review
"Ingenious and heartfelt.""
