Praise for "The Devil She Knows
""
"""The Devil She Knows" is nothing short of terrific. An absolutely original voice, and a story that grabs you by the throat and doesn't ever, ever, ever even think of letting go." --John Lescroart, author of "Nothing but the Truth"

"The most engaging cop to battle the bad guys of the Crescent City since James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux."--"The New Orleans Times Picayune"

""Punches are flying from page one of this electric thriller."--"The Daily Beast"

"Beautifully written...[New Orleans] has been the setting for a couple of outstanding crime novels, including James Lee Burke's "The Tin Roof Blowdown" and Sara Gran's quirky "Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead". Loehfelm's "The Devil in Her Way" measures up to that standard and then some."--Bruce DeSilva, Associated Press

"Bill Loehfelm's razor-sharp "The Devil in Her Way" is everything you want a crime novel to be: morally twisty, richly textured, and filled with soul.

""The Devil in Her Way" is not only Bill Loehfelm's best book yet--it may just be the best mystery novel to come out of post-Katrina New Orleans since James Lee Burke's "The Tin Roof Blowdown." I can offer no higher praise than to say that I finished it and wanted to read more. A gem."--John Connolly, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Wrath of Angels
