Review Quotes:

"An entirely original thriller. From the first page to the last, No Body No Crime is a riveting story with two unforgettable heroines. A must-read!"
--Amy Tintera, author of Listen for the Lie

"No Body No Crime is a wild ride--a downright sexy thriller with more twists, turns, and gasps than a roller coaster. It will raise your temperature and make your pulse race."
--Ivy Pochoda, author of Ecstasy

"Dynamic plot twists, shrewd pacing, and well-placed timeline jumps provide sturdy narrative scaffolding, but it's Sharpe's depiction of Chloe and Mel's complicated relationship . . . that makes the novel shine. Readers who love rooting for antiheroes, or are hungry for queer stories that don't put queerness at the very center, will adore this."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"It's that propulsive pace, jumping between time lines and characters, that makes this sapphic thriller eminently readable. Ultimately a pulse-pounding adventure."
--Maggie Reagan, Booklist
