Patrick Anderson reviews THE LAST DEAD GIRL in THE WASHINGTON POST: 
"An entertaining mystery . . . Dolan has a talent for ingenious, serpentine plots.
. . . His David Malone novels deserve the praise they've received. Most likely, we'll keep learning more about the trouble-prone Mr. Malone for years to come."

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL calls THE LAST DEAD GIRL “absorbing, exciting 
. . . fast and unpredictable. . . . Mr. Dolan's characters are human enough to catch you off-guard, and he makes the actions of even the creepiest ones believable.”

"Dolan's seemingly effortless prose sets off dialogue that surprises and delights, and his intricate plot is simply dazzling: a twisting, shifting labyrinth of events, characters, and motivations. . . . This trip into David's past is every bit as good—if not better—than the first time we saw him."
> Booklist (*Starred review)

"[THE LAST DEAD GIRL] puts Dolan's gifts as a storyteller on full display. . . . You’re in for a suspenseful ride." 
> Publishers Weekly

"[THE LAST DEAD GIRL has] shocking twists, complex plotting, bizarre situations, and striking characters that keep the reader intrigued . . . With just three books, Dolan is already a seasoned pro, worthy of high acclaim."
> Library Journal

"A highly entertaining, exceptional crime novel. . . . Dolan is one of America’s best new crime writers; if you haven’t discovered him, you’re in for a real treat."
> Ray Walsh, Lansing State Journal

"This is going to be one of my favorite books of 2014; it’s that good."
> Jon Jordan, Crimespree Magazine

"Excellent. . . . The twists and turns flow effortlessly."
> Forbes Magazine

Noah Adams talks with Harry Dolan about his novels BAD THINGS HAPPEN and VERY BAD MEN.  > Listen to the interview here.

"A second mind-bending case for Ann Arbor editor David Loogan that begins just as simply and ominously and takes the reader on just as wild a journey. . . . The rare crime novel with something for everyone who reads crime fiction." 
> Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Smooth and appealing . . . [A] twist-filled adventure . . . The literate Loogan, who carries a Swiss Army knife instead of a gun and can improvise a weapon out of 500 sheets of recycled-bond paper, strikes an engaging tone between hard-boiled and whimsical."
> Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal

"Strong, well-developed, colorful characters, brisk dialogue and seemingly endless plot twists. . . . Easily one of the year's best mysteries." 
> Ray Walsh, Lansing State Journal

"A riveting crime novel . . . Relentless pacing, a wry sense of humor, and an engaging protagonist add up to another winner for Dolan." 
> Publishers Weekly

"With down-to-earth language, realistic dialogue, quirky but human characters and an off-kilter plot that brings to mind a Coen Brothers film, VERY BAD MEN is the mystery of the summer."
> San Antonio Express-News
