What They're Saying

Critics Review

PRAISE FOR SAFER “Safer is a high-octane, rip-roaring page-turner. I read it in one sitting–and loved every minute.”–Harlan CobenPRAISE FOR SEAN DOOLITTLE “A cult writer for the masses-hip, smart and so mordantly funny. Get on the bandwagon now.”–Laura Lippman

“If Patricia Highsmith and Nelson DeMille and Alex Michaelides somehow united for a three-way collaboration, Device Free Weekend might be the explosive result. A breathtakingly clever, twist-filled thriller that feels exactly right for a weekend getaway. Sean Doolittle always writes the coolest characters. If it wasn’t so dangerous, I’d want to spend time on a private island with these people!”

–Blake Crouch, bestselling author of Dark Matter and Upgrade“A wonderful discovery.”–Michael Connelly“As long as there are writers like Sean Doolittle out there, American crime fiction has got a sterling future ahead of it.”–Dennis Lehane“Brutally clever and action-packed, Device Free Weekend is also a wry, warped tale of the tech-heavy world we live in. And it’s truly impossible to put down. Pick this one up and you’ll wind up spending a weekend without devices … or sleep.”–Alison Gaylin, bestselling, Edgar Award-winning author of The Collective“Device Free Weekend is aptly titled. Once I met this rich cast of characters–college friends mysteriously reunited on a rich tech mogul’s private island–I immediately wanted to avoid all distractions and lose myself in this smart, propulsive thriller. Sean Doolittle continues to be one of the most clever and creative crime writers working today.”–Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of Find Me“Dramatic, deadly, and occasionally funny … a creatively madcap adventure. Fans of TV’s The White Lotus will find a lot to like.”–Publishers Weekly“Imagine a gritty, hyper-realistic version of The Glass Onion chock full of philosophical inquiries about the consequences of social media, and you’re getting close to what Sean Doolittle has pulled off in his latest novel, Device Free Weekend. Part techno thriller, part love letter to the 90s–Device Free Weekend is the book we’ve all been waiting for.” –Eli Cranor, author of Don’t Know Tough and Ozark Dogs“One of the best crime novelists working.”–Owen King“Sean Doolittle is a young writer with serious chops.”–George Pelecanos“Spectacular. Ominous from page one, tense all the way through, explosive at the end, Device Free Weekend does everything a great thriller should–and a lot more, too. It makes us think about how we live now, and the extra dangers we have created for ourselves.”–Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series
