A Death in Belmont

Praise for A Death in Belmont

“Junger’s clear, beautifully reasonable writing is the literary equivalent of night-vision goggles....He’s navigating a maze of shadows, and you can see all the more clearly what an enormously skillful prose artist he is....Junger entrances the reader by picking out small details that give the events he’s describing an enthralling vividness and resonance and clarity." — Time magazine

“[I] couldn’t put it down for four hours—and then did so only because [my] flight had landed.” — Newsweek

“Riveting...reads like a novel. Its narrative line is crisp....a worthy sequel to THE PERFECT STORM.” — New York Times Book Review

“As Junger showed in his bestselling The Perfect Storm, he’s a hell of a storyteller. . . . This perplexing story gains an extra degree of creepiness from Junger’s personal connection to it.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“[Junger’s] a hell of a storyteller.” — Entertainment Weekly

“Junger has done a remarkable job in recreating the story of the damaged little boy who became a serial killer, and those whose lives he changed....Reading Junger, one cannot help being reminded of Truman Capote’s brilliant reconstruction of another brutal slaying, In Cold Blood, and noting that he stands the test of comparison.” — Daily Mail (London)

“Dramatic and compelling.” — Boston magazine

“Best-selling author Junger gives us a fresh look at the Boston Strangler crime story by examining his own family lore....Junger has written a well-documented page-turner that leaves us wanting more.... Highly recommended." — Library Journal

“A meticulously researched evocation of a time of terror, wrapped around a chilling, personal footnote.” — Kirkus Reviews
