Richard Montanari's elegiac tone takes the curse off Shutter Man, a blood-drenched thriller about a group of imperfectly domesticated boys who came from the same blighted neighborhood and grew up to become criminals and killers - and cops . . . Gripping
New York Times
Glittering and sharp, an ice pick of a novel. Richard Montanari ranks among my favorite thriller writers. He devises plots to set your blood sizzling, peoples them with charismatic heroes and villains, and tops it all off with prose as lush and stylish as any you'll find. An astounding talent

Publishers Weekly
The Buried Girl works on more than one level - the Father/Daughter relationship is beautifully done. Then we have a creepy, intense mystery element that is unpredictable and fascinating with a rich history and mythology that is utterly gripping . . . Absolutely excellent. One of my favourite thriller writers working today
