Critics Review

A Thousand Pardons is that rare thing: a genuine literary thriller. Eerily suspenseful and packed with dramatic event, it also offers a trenchant, hilarious portrait of our collective longing for authenticity in these over-mediated times.

Guilt, redemption and the American dream of starting afresh are Pulitzer-Prize nominee Jonathan Dee’s themes in this thoroughly enjoyable comic tale. - Daily Mail

The American novelist who has his finger on the pulse. - BBC Front Row

Deliciously readable. - Irish Independent

Slickly written and great entertainment. - Evening Standard

Part relationship drama, part thriller, this is one of our favourite books of the year so far. - Bella

…shrewdly observed and compulsively readable. - Literary Review

With his sixth novel, Pulitzer finalist Dee has written a page turner without sacrificing a smidgen of psychological insight. What a triumph. - Kirkus (Starred Review)
