Reviews for Redemption:

"A brilliant tale of privilege and pain, betrayal and murder ... I loved it!"
-Linda Fairstein

"With Redemption, a new star has appeared in the galaxy of contemporary American crime fiction ... A remarkable achievement and a wonderful blend of manners and murder."

“[A] lyrical novel … Gently and perceptively written. Redemption is a novel about fear...and Geary will captivate you with this story of people who, like all of us, are sometimes afraid and alone in their hearts.”
-Lynn Hightower, NY Times Best-Selling author of THE DEBT COLLECTOR and NO GOOD DEED

“Redemption totally captivated me from page one to the jaw dropping ending. Absorbing, with gripping characters, non stop suspense and family intrigues that are all too believable...I couldn't put it down!”
-Carla Neggers, New York Times Best-Selling author of STONEBROOK COTTAGE

“In Redemption, Nancy Geary pens a suspenseful tale about the underside of the Upper Crust. Geary is a wonderfully mordant observer of the rich gone-awry—her books are funny, sharp, and stylishly written.”
-Sallie Bissell, author of IN THE FOREST OF HARM and A DARKER JUSTICE
