Praise for Reconstruction
“Mick Herron never tells a suspense story in the expected way,
which is why his new novel, Reconstruction, reads as much like a
puzzle mystery as it does a thriller . . . unpleasant things are
bound to happen, and they do—but not until Herron has finished
surprising us.”
—The New York Times Book Review
"Masterful . . . How Herron is able to tie all these events
together will test the sleuthing ability of even the most savvy
readers as one surprise engenders another. The intricate plot,
coupled with Herron’s breezy writing style . . . results in
superior entertainment that makes most other novels of suspense
appear dull and slow-witted by comparison."
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Ingenious and heartfelt."
—Kirkus Reviews
"In Herron's complex story everyone is a reconstructionist, either
of their own baggage or of other people's lives or of the events
around them . . . Spellbinding."
—Mysterious Reviews
“Reconstruction sizzles and dazzles as readers slowly become more
fully aware of the unique relationships between complex characters
in this complicated tale.”—BookLoons
