“Lisa Lutz just gets better and better, and . . . The Accomplice
may just be her best so far.”—CrimeReads
“There’s no one in crime fiction more inventive than Lisa Lutz, and
The Accomplice is her greatest sleight of hand yet. Wry and
menacing, with the gravity-defying grace of a skipped stone, The
Accomplice is at once a suspenseful thrill ride, a deep and
disquieting meditation on friendship, and a Wes Anderson comedy
rolled into one. After this, I’d read her grocery list.”—Amy
Gentry, bestselling author of Good as Gone and Bad Habits
“Masterfully plotted, The Accomplice is both a keep-you-guessing
mystery—like, seriously, I didn’t see any of it coming—and a keenly
and tenderly observed character study and portrait of a beautiful
friendship complicated by a strange body count that keeps growing
around them. I was rooting for Owen and Luna, but murder has a way
of testing the bounds of even the tightest of best friends.”—Attica
Locke, author of Bluebird, Bluebird and Heaven, My Home
“[An] atmospheric, well-plotted, and brilliantly narrated story,
which is at once mysterious, suspenseful, and witty.”—Booklist
(starred review)
“Quirky characters, humor in unexpected places, and a twisty but
plausible plot keep the pages turning. Readers will be torn between
eagerness to get to the bottom of the novel’s mysteries—and
reluctance for the adventure to end.”—Publishers Weekly
