Praise for Deep Winter
— The New York Times
The woods may be lovely, as Robert Frost would have it, but they’re also dreadfully dark in DEEP WINTER...the beautifully written
but disturbing first novel by Samuel W. Gailey.
— Esquire Magazine
Enthralling and suspenseful, like a Michael Connelly or Lee Child crime novel, but more elegantly written.
— Joe R. Lansdale, author of The Thicket and The Bottoms
Deep Winter is a fast paced thriller tense enough to give you paper cuts from turning the pages so quickly.
— Library Journal
A portrait of a distinctive character (think Lennie in Of Mice and Men) and of a town hiding nasty secrets.
— Booklist
so brilliantly done, so artfully underwritten with not a word wasted.
— Publisher’s Weekly
A moving picture of a man…who becomes a moral compass.
— Kirkus Reviews
Gailey writes visually, rendering the characters and action both vivid and alive.
