Review
Advanced Praise for "Don't Ever Look Back"
"Alternately humorous and moving sequel . . . The howdunit of the 1965 crime will please Golden Age puzzle fans." --"Publisher's Weekly" (starred review)
"Enjoy the plot, which even has a locked-room mystery packed into it. Savor
the resonant prose as a reminder of how flabby much best-seller writing has become. Delight in Buck's
deadpan humor, but don't fall for it. No codger cuteness here; his nastiness can shock." --"Booklist"
"A worthy successor to Buck's fine-tuned debut." --"Kirkus Reviews"
"""Daniel Friedman has done it again--only better." "--"Michael Sears, bestselling author of "Black Fridays"
"Don't Ever Look Back is a funny, smart, and vibrant work of crime fiction. Good luck finding anything more from a novel this year." --Wiley Cash, " New York Times" bestselling author of "A Land More Kind Than Home" and "This Dark Road to Mercy
""Daniel Friedman takes the considerable momentum from his Macavity-winning debut novel Don't Ever Get Old and builds on it for Buck Schatz's newest turn, Don't Ever Look Back. Friedman's sophomore outing is darker, grittier, and more political (but just as funny) as his first. It not only lives up to, but indeed surpasses, all expectations for a sequel."--Susan Elia MacNeal, "New York Times" bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series
"Finding a fresh take on the mystery genre is unusual; finding one that's both suspenseful and hilarious is rare indeed, which is why I loved this novel so much. Buck Schatz, an 88-year-old retired cop, proves that old age really isn't for sissies. Friedman shows the indignities of aging, along with the complexities of police work, with the perfect blend of humor and pathos. A great read!" --Carol Schneck Varner, Schuler Books and Music, Okemos, MI
