"Remarkable...Kate Quinn is a master at crafting an intoxicating, well-balanced blend of immersive period details and deft character work. ...The Diamond Eye is a remarkable combination of immersive wartime storytelling, rich detailing and wonderful pacing. What really makes The Diamond Eye land, though, goes beyond Quinn's mastery of her chosen genre. This is, first and foremost, an exceptional character piece, a study of a woman who is a killer, a mother, a lover and, above all else, a survivor." - BookPage (starred review)
"Quinn (The Rose Code) specializes in centering strong women; each of her books exceeds expectations set by the previous title... Readers looking for a new and unique viewpoint of World War II with a mystery to solve and a light touch of romance will dive deep into this story." - Library Journal (starred review)
"Kate Quinn amazes me. With each new book she reaches new heights in her craft as a writer of page-turning plots and prose. The Diamond Eye is a remarkable story filled with heart, intrigue, breathtaking drama and, perhaps best of all, meticulously researched details that prove that history provides the absolute best raw material for storytelling. Like her sniper subject Lyudmila Pavlichenko, Kate Quinn has brilliantly hit her mark-this is a stunning novel about a singular historical heroine." - Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post
"Kate Quinn has excelled in previous novels at transforming real-life historical biography into page-turning fiction. The Diamond Eye-combat novel, wartime love story, assassination thriller-in prose that shifts from lyrical to melodramatic as events demand, sets up and pulls off a double-barreled surprise-ending worthy of its larger-than-life inspiration."
- Wall Street Journal
"[A] thrilling novel. WWII heroines are having a moment, and this is a stellar example.

"Exciting...Historical fiction fans will be riveted." - Publishers Weekly
"Kate Quinn is an excellent storyteller, and she perfectly captures Mila's spirit and personality both on and off the battlefield... Don't miss this timely story about the immense power, strength and resilience of a Ukranian woman!" - BookReporter.com
"The Diamond Eye is sharply observed, multi-faceted and brilliantly alive-historical fiction at its best!" - Christine Wells, author of Sisters of the Resistance
"A riveting, authentic story of a Soviet woman who becomes a sniper during WWII. In page-turning prose, Kate Quinn illuminates the tale of Mila Pavlichenko, who, after killing more than 300 of Hitler's most formidable officers, comes to the U.S. to promote America's entry into the war. With vivid characters, unforgettable battle scenes, and moments of intense humanity and love, The Diamond Eye is a master class in historical fiction. It will leave you breathless, choking on tears." - Elena Gorokhova, author of A Train to Moscow
"Readers can all but smell the gunsmoke in The Diamond Eye, so thoroughly does Kate Quinn immerse you in the grim and grey world of the Russian Front - and in the psyche of her remarkable real-life heroine, Mila Pavlichenko. Quinn's page-turning account of Mila's transformation from student to sniper measures the unimaginable toll of pulling the trigger, portraying with power and compassion Mila's urge not to kill, but to protect. Unputdownable!" - Bryn Turnbull, author of The Last Grand Duchess

Exquisitely told, this is what makes Kate Quinn such a powerhouse in historical fiction." - Renee Rosen, author of Park Avenue Summer
"Few authors are able to craft stories as immersive and compulsively readable as Kate Quinn, and her latest is not exception. The Diamond Eye is a sparkling new gem in Quinn's already impressive bibliography. Quinn recaptures the Russian intrigue-the utter magic-of The Huntress in Mila's story. The characters and setting are vibrant and compelling, and the reader can't help but root for Quinn's heroine from start to finish. A brilliant tale by a master storyteller." - Aimie K. Runyan, bestselling author of The School for German Brides
"Crack-shot novelist Kate Quinn's aim is dead on in The Diamond Eye.
