Review Quotes:
"This atmospheric tale of twisted minds and small-town murder would've put a demented gleam in The Master's eye." --NPR
"[Muñoz] handles the violence with a subtlety worthy of Hitchcock himself. The lyrical prose and sensitive portrayal of the crime's ripple effect in the small community elevate this far beyond the typical noir." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Eerily cinematic." --O: The Oprah Magazine
