Financial Times:
"Aficionados argue about who currently inhabits the top tier of American crime fiction...two names jostle for pole position: Dennis Lehane and Don Winslow. Both writers provide a perfect balance of detailed characterisation and state-of-the-nation underpinnings in their work...Lehane has said that his work is always about hope, however dark the scenarios, and that quality shines throughout this ambitious and multi-layered novel."
Reader's Digest:
"Lehane is now well established as one of America's finest crime writers, who superbly blends uncompromising social history with uncompromising tales of what people driven to the limit will do. As ever, Small Mercies is populated with a wide-ranging collection of unforgettable people."
"This taut, gripping mystery is also a novel of soul-searching, for the author and reader alike."
Stephen King (NYT Bestseller, National Medal of the Arts):
"SMALL MERCIES is thought provoking, engaging, enraging, and can’t-put-it-down entertainment."
Library Journal (pick of the month, starred review):
"After almost six years since his last novel, SINCE WE WELL, Lehane’s (MYSTIC RIVER; SHUTTER ISLAND) latest is inspired by a childhood experience when his family was caught up in the violence of the anti-busing riots. Pair this powerful, unforgettable story with S.A. Cosby’s RAZORBLADE TEARS, another remarkable novel about racism, violence, and parental vengeance."
Junot Diaz (Pulitzer Prize winner, Guggenheim and Macarthur Fellow):
“Dennis Lehane is a supernova and this is a novel that will throw your entire goddamn solar system out of alignment. Lehane has gone from strength to strength but never has he been more truthful, more heartbreaking, more essential. In the midst of our racial nightmare Small Mercies asks some of the only questions that matter: ‘What’s gonna change? When’s it gonna change? Where’s it gonna change? How’s it gonna change?’ This book is impossible to put down and its dark radiances will stay with you a long, long time.”
S.A. Cosby (NYT Bestseller, Anthony Award Winner):
"Dennis Lehane peels back the layers of his characters like a sculptor finding the face of an angel in a block of stone. By a true master at the top of his game, Small Mercies is vintage Lehane. Beautiful, brutal, lyrical and blisteringly honest. Not to be missed."
Gillian Flynn (NYT Bestseller, author of Gone Girl):
“SMALL MERCIES is a jaw-dropping thriller, set in the fury of Boston's 1974 school-desegregation crisis, and propelled by a hell-bent woman who's impossible to ignore. Thought-provoking and heart-thumping, it's a resonant, unflinching story written by a novelist who is simply one of the best around.”
Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author:
"Beautiful. I was blown away by how Dennis Lehane was able to bring such a deeply unfamiliar world into my heart. SMALL MERCIES is hilarious and heartbreaking, infuriating and unforgettable."
