Critics Review

A novel about a place and the people in that place that reads like a thriller but could only have been written by someone who knows Savannah and its stories intimately and wants them to be told. It’s the apotheosis of Southern Gothic Noir – Neil GaimanA rich, sprawling, dazzling mystery that’s also a journey into history - of a nation, of a city, and of one unforgettably dysfunctional family. I savored every page – Riley SagerCompelling characters and vivid settings make this impressive Southern narrative stand out among the best … not to be missed – Karin SlaughterI’ve never read a mystery novel any finer than this one. It impeccably fulfills every requirement of the genre - idiosyncratic heroes and villains, exotic milieus, ugly secrets, surprising twists, gratifying turns … all depicted in gorgeous prose. The Kingdoms of Savannah is utterly satisfying – Kurt AndersenDeeply rooted in Savannah’s at times horrific history, yet looking hopefully toward the future, this provocative page-turner is sure to enthrall a broad spectrum of readers. Green is writing at the top of his game * Publishers Weekly, STARRED review *Green’s novels may not come around often, but when they do, they hit hard and stay with you long after the end * Kirkus, STARRED review *A novel about a place and the people in that place that reads like a thriller but could only have been written by someone who knows Savannah and its stories intimately and wants them to be told.
