'Gripping' The Times
____________

Long ago, Carl Feldman was acquitted of murder.

Now he's an old man, living alone with his fading memories.

His daughter has come to see him, to take him on a trip.

Only she's not his daughter, and if she has her way, he's not coming back . . .

This woman is sure Carl's a murderer, and that he's killed others - including her sister Rachel.

And she will stop at nothing to find out the truth.

Rezensionen

Heaberlin's latest thriller is at once a zany, dialogue-propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road trip, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography The Sunday Times

You ll enjoy the journey and all its macabre side trips. You ll love the travel commentary written in Heaberlin s lean, muscular prose. . . . Signposts along the way warn of angst, secrets and deadly plot twists, but you ll never see what s coming. You ll step out of this fictional vehicle feeling like you ve been T-boned by an 18-wheeler. The Washington Post

A rich hybrid work that s at once a zany, dialogue-propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road novel, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography. It would make a fine indie movie, although screen adaptation would entail sacrificing Heaberlin s evocative prose. The Sunday Times (UK), Thriller of the Month

I kept thinking of [Patricia] Highsmith while reading Paper Ghosts. . . . Heaberlin anchors her books with troubled but endearingly badass women. . . . Like Highsmith, Heaberlin displays a keen grasp of casual cruelty that defines human interaction, not to mention a flair for stories in which no one least of all the protagonist can be trusted. . . . Texas has yet again bred a major American noir writer. D Magazine

[An] artful and elegiac psychological thriller . . . Heaberlin brilliantly combines travelogue with a heartbreaking portrait of the damage done by childhood. . . . [She] wields words like weapons, with each one chosen to heighten tension, underscore emotion, or foreshadow doom. Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Entertainingly unnerving. The Dallas Morning News

Strong characterisation, haunting images, a wonderful sense of place, and some dark comedy make this travelogue-cum-psychological thriller well worth the read. The Guardian

Paper Ghosts is a riveting summer read that shows Texas in a powerfully intimate light. The Austin Chronicle

The emotion is amazing. The scenes and characters are both so strong and so believable. . . . Get ready to be terrified! Suspense Magazine

Heaberlin s spot-on depiction of mental anguish, her careful creation of characters who are mean and troubled yet compelling, and an unexpected twist at the end make this a winner. Booklist

Heaberlin s works beautifully evoke the texture and landscape of the state of Texas while acknowledging the ambivalence and occasional menace that underlies the sublime beauty of the state, and her latest is no exception. CrimeReads

Top-notch suspense, a dangerous game of hide-and-go-seek, masterfully crafted. Lone Star Literary

The layers of the story both peel away and deepen as the search into the mind of a killer takes turns no one is expecting. RT Book Reviews

This outstanding thriller will blow you out of your lawn chair. Minneapolis Star Tribune

Breathless storytelling at its very best. Elizabeth Haynes, New York Times bestselling author of Into the Darkest Corner
