What They're Saying
Critics Review
“In Idyll Threats, Stephanie Gayle has crafted a fascinating mystery and–even more engaging for this reader–a believable, complicated hero. Thomas Lynch is a flawed, sympathetic man struggling with the benefits and risks of coming to terms with himself. I was rooting for him the whole way.”
–STEPHEN McCAULEY, author of The Object of My Affection and Insignificant Others
“Stephanie Gayle strings a tightwire of psycho-sexual tension, then gives it a radical twist in this smart, riveting tale of small-town murder and homophobia.”
–CRAIG FAUSTUS BUCK, author of Go Down Hard
“Lynch is a deeply compelling character… . Readers will want to see how the next two decades treat this intriguingly complex cop, should this fine crime debut launch a series.”
