REVIEWS

“Knopf excels in describing the rustic underpinnings of Long Island’s east end, especially its vast array of eccentric characters. Brisk pacing and sharp dialogue carry the reader along, but it’s the endearing and deeply flawed Acquillo that’s the heart and soul of this exceptional series.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“The more one listens to Richard Ferrone narrate Head Wounds, the more one appreciates how well he crafts the novel’s dialogue. Chris Knopf’s murder mystery is an excellent story all by itself….the richness of Ferrone’s portrayal of Acquillo—a unique soul who reads Kant and has a dog named Eddie van Halen—makes this performance especially outstanding. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Knopf has written a thoroughly entertaining story with excellent plot twists that leave the listener guessing, and ultimately very satisfied. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award.”—AudioFile

“What I liked most about Head Wounds is the intelligent writing which entertained me on every page. Chris Knopf deserves a wide audience. This is one of those series published by a relatively small press that surpasses in quality a lot of what is being published by the big boys. Seek it out.”—Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine

“Sam makes the perfect antihero for our guided tour of the wrong side of the tracks. Another satisfying entry in an endearing series.”—Booklist
