Critics Review
Praise for The Man in the Crooked Hat
“Mr. Dolan is a skillful writer. His well-balanced story is full of tension, sorrow, suspense and a lingering sense of uncertainty… . In the course of his gripping tale, Mr. Dolan makes even his strangest and most vile characters understandable—not to excuse but to explain them, with appropriate measures of pity and terror.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Clever … ‘The Man in the Crooked Hat’ expertly splinters into several investigations and delivers parallel stories of Jack’s quest and Michael’s rebuilding of his life. Each plot tendril blissfully leads to the next as Dolan illustrates intelligent plotting. A hint of humor and a flair for the ironic also elevate the story.”—Associated Press

“An unpredictable mystery with an off-kilter plot and distinctive characters … with deft dialogue propelling its plot.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
