"A lightning-paced, high-concept thriller . . . Astonishingly inventive, "The Cutting Room" stands out as one of the best mysteries of the year!"
--TESS GERRITSEN, author of "The Sinner
""In 1984, writing under the pseudonym Margaret Tracy, Klavan won the Edgar Award for Best Paperback Original for "Mrs. White". Now--two decades later and best known as the librettist for the Obie Award-winning musical "Bed and Sofa"--Klavan has produced this wry, whimsically romantic crime novel. Brimming with engaging tidbits of movie trivia, it is narrated in the self-effacing voice of its bumbling, endearing hero, Roy Milano, publisher of "Trivial Man", a cultish movie trivia newsletter sold through bookstores and video outlets around the Big Apple. . . This tongue-in-cheek whodunit marks the long overdue second coming of a gifted novelist."
--"Publishers Weekly "(starred review)
"A great bit of escapism for film and mystery buffs alike. . . Klavan's touch is playful and deft."
