Never Tell: A Novel of Suspense (Ellie Hatcher): 4 - Tapa blanda

"[Burke] has delivered another winner....Two seemingly different storylines converge in a shocking way, demonstrating Burke's remarkable abilities as a writer....Hatcher is a complex character, and her journey both personally and professionally will have even the most jaded suspense aficionado rapidly turning the pages."--Jeff Ayers, Associated Press

"Burke has a good eye for the many faces of New York....Burke's story is complex, but her pace is fast, her prose is crisp and her duplicitous characters ring true in the Darwinian world she creates."--Patrick Anderson, Washington Post

"Burke's last book was a stand-alone, but in Never Tell she's returned to the character her readers know best, the fierce and gutsy NYPD detective Ellie Hatcher - now investigating the apparent suicide of a privileged Manhattan teen."--Entertainment Weekly

"The meticulous plotting, coupled with Ellie's complicated evolution as a heroine, make this Burke's strongest work to date."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Never Tell is perhaps Burke's most ambitious and complex novel to date, yet it's also her most readable....will leave the reader thinking about this book long after the last page as been turned."--Joe Hartlaub, Bookreporter.com

"One of Burke's trademarks is connecting disparate plotlines, which she does here in spades....Skillfully structured..."--Michele Leber, Booklist

"What initially appears to be a simple story quickly becomes more intricate and compelling, making the pages fly. Highly recommended, especially for Lisa Gardner or Laura Lippman fans."--Stacy Alesi, Library Journal
