“Hits the heart, not just the pulse, with people
you come to care about. First-rate and highly recommended.”

“Chazin’s novel is one of the most genuinely phenomenal examples of storytelling. Full of twists and turns, the narrative leaves…[listeners] guessing, but it also does a brilliant job getting them invested in the characters…the novel also makes an affecting statement about hatred and racism in a small town, and how the race lines drawn in these settings can sometimes rip an entire population to pieces. It’s a powerful read.”

“Timely and engrossing…The
engaging, psychologically complex Vega must confront unwelcome aspects
of his past as his investigation builds to a shocking conclusion.”

“The intricate plot and the important social issues combine in this strong debut of a promising series.”

“Suzanne Chazin has crafted a tantalizing, keenly moving,
and nuanced look at the little-understood immigrant community, particularly the
undocumented. Suspenseful, involving, Land
of Careful Shadows will touch your heart.”

“That rare crime novel that gets the reader caught up in
the lives of beautifully drawn characters.”
