“Erica Wright is such a wonderful writer, you’ll
be burning through the pages faster than a chameleon changes colors.”

“This new PI has got a smart mouth on her, and
plenty of wigs to help her find her own true character.”

“At the start of this riveting crime novel from poet Wright,
PI Kat Stone, a former NYPD undercover detective, discovers the dead
body of Stephen Kramer, the unfaithful husband she’s been tailing, in
the men’s room of an Upper East Side bar. When Kat begins to look like the most likely suspect in Kramer’s
shooting murder, Det. Ellis Dekker, who’s in charge of the case and a
friend of Kat’s, vouches for her innocence and brings her unofficially
into the investigation…Readers
will want to see more of the humorous, thoroughly engaging Kat.”

“Wright’s debut novel offers a promising start to a hard-boiled series
featuring an idiosyncratic female PI whose quirkiness will appeal to
fans of Linda Barnes or Karen Kijewski…The author gives
tantalizing glimpses into Stone’s undercover career…The supporting characters are also well developed and absorbing.”

“Private Investigator Kathleen Stone is a
twenty-five-year-old former undercover cop with a talent for disguises…Stone is an engaging character with a disturbing background that
adds another layer to this first novel. Wright is a little darker and
not quite as over the top as Janet Evanovich, but aficionados of
humorous mysteries like the Stephanie Plum series and the Lucky O’Toole
series by Deborah Coonts will want to add this to their reading lists.”

“The Red Chameleon introduces us to
a thrilling new hardboiled world. Wright has created a rich and nuanced
protagonist, as well as a gripping plot, and she writes in a style agile enough
to veer into surprising pockets of emotion.”

“A fast and funny private eye novel featuring
Kathleen Stone, a kick-ass disguise artist who’s a hoot under any name in any
wig.”

“A complex tale filled with humor and sharply
drawn characters, Erica Wright takes the reader on a thrilling ride where
confronting evil can scare you into hiding or help you come out of the
shadows.”

“The Red Chameleon is a fast,
exciting read that mystery lovers will consume in huge gulps.”

“Erica Wright’s The Red Chameleon is a gift
to devotees of classical private-eye novels as well as contemporary crime
fiction.”
