Praise for Criminals…


"A wonderful novel, impeccably written and thoroughly engrossing."--The New York Times Book Review "Where do love, honesty, and responsibility intersect? . . . A provocative rumination on family and what it means to do the right thing."--Glamour
"Funny, suspenseful, and sometimes creepy."--Los Angeles Times
"One of the most surprising thrillers of the year--completely offbeat, unexpected, and unique. Margot Livesey is right up there in the realm of P. D. James."--Newsday "A story of many kinds of love, indifference, secrecy, and blind selfishness that drives as fiercely to its surprising conclusion as any thriller."--Rosellen Brown
