Critics Review

“Haggard House is brilliant. Compulsively involving, and richly satisfying on every level. Don’t miss it.”-Richard Bausch, PEN/Malamud & REA Award-winning author of Playhouse and The Fate of Others

“Part historical fiction, part suspense with a tinge of horror-all good storytelling.” -Mary Vensel White, award-winning author of Things to See in Arizona and Bellflower

“Beautiful and alive and compelling and haunting.” -Candi Sary, Eric Hoffer award-winning author of Magdalena

“As reluctant as I am to use cliché, I found Rhoads’ engaging style kept me turning pages as fast as I could devour them.” -Victor Volkman, Marquette Monthly
