Praise for Alex Grecian's The Black Country “Ripe with gory details…[Grecian] has a flair.”—
The New York Times Book Review“Devilishly dark…It isn’t often that a mystery-thriller enthralls so completely…but as usual with Mr. Grecian, there is more to this tale than complex plotting.”—
The Huffington Post“Grecian creates an eerie atmosphere from start to finish, and without giving anything away, the killer here is creepy and unexpected.”—Bookreporter.com
