Review Quotes:
Praise for Red Leaves: "Simons has sharpened her craftsmanship to produce this suspenseful work [...] Simons handles her characters and setting (both the New Hampshire campus and the moneyed neighborhoods of Greenwich, Conn.) with a certain skill, creating mystery from the ordinary, protected lives of these Ivy League kids, slowly peeling away their deceptions to reveal denial, cowardice and chilling indifference. In doing so, she tells an often engrossing story." - Publishers Weekly on RED LEAVES
