Industry Reviews "Adept at merging past and present plot lines, Cook eloquently examines the often cathartic act of storytelling....in [this] eerily poignant novel." (starred review) (04/27/2009)
"The climax manages to be sobering and satisfying without tying up all the loose ends of Cook's most obscure puzzler." (05/01/2009)
"Every Thomas H. Cook novel is a subtle mind game, but THE FATE OF KATHERINE CARR...is positively haunting." (07/05/2009)
