&ldquo;Slaughter&rsquo;s most powerful book to date . . . No one writes like Slaughter. . . . Her words fairly growl on paper but yet her descriptions of relationships are tear inducing. This may make her an anomaly but she is the best damn anomaly writing books today. Make sure you read Unseen.&rdquo;&mdash;The Huffington Post &#160; &ldquo;Compelling . . . [Slaughter] balances a complex plot with believable twists while sensitively exploring her realistic characters&rsquo; emotions and problems.&rdquo;&mdash;South Florida Sun-Sentinel &#160; &ldquo;An emotional roller coaster ride . . . fast-paced and edge-of-your seat . . . Slaughter is brilliant.&rdquo;&mdash;Wichita Falls Times Record News &#160; &ldquo;Superb and emotionally wrenching . . . The despicable nature of the crimes being investigated only serves to enhance Will&rsquo;s innate goodness and humanity. Current series fans will be delighted, and newcomers to Slaughter&rsquo;s work will find a new obsession.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal &#160; &ldquo;Slaughter plunges readers into the action from the get-go with her electrifying ability to write suspenseful, riveting confrontations between cops and criminals, all while deepening the backstories of her longtime series leads. Another intense read, on multiple levels, from the ever-reliable Slaughter.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist &#160; &ldquo;Tense and densely plotted . . . The twisted plot and shocking reveals remind readers why Slaughter remains a dominant voice in crime fiction.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly

Unseen

“The Evolution of the French Courtesan Novel makes an important contribution to feminist approaches to French literature. Not only does Sullivan’s study postulate a new category, but it makes a convincing case for the construction of a discourse that counters, in a way that was apparently threatening to male writers, the hegemonic male discourse surrounding fictions of the sex worker.” (Carol Mossman, H-France Review, Vol. 17 (40), August, 2017)
