Praise for Anonymous Rex, by Eric Garcia:
“Awesomely funny...Witty, fast-paced detective work makes for a
good mystery, but the story’s sly, seamlessly conceived dinosaur
underworld contains all the elements of a cult classic.”
—Entertainment Weekly (A rating)
“Debut novelist Eric Garcia pulls off this parallel dino world to a
T (Rex). [His] descriptions are delicious...inventive and
imaginative. He cleverly avoids what could have been a one-joke
book with charm, sly humor and a terrific narrative pace.”
—USA Today
Praise for Casual Rex, by Eric Garcia:
“[Casual Rex] is thornier than Garcia’s audacious debut, Anonymous
Rex—but it’s still delightfully strange and funny.” —The Seattle
Times
“Eric Garcia is one of the few innovators in this overworked
genre....What Garcia gave us in his 1999 novel Anonymous Rex and
has given us in this sequel, which is quite as clever and amusing,
is an old-fashioned private-eye yarn, complete with tough-talking
detectives, beautiful and mysterious babes, villains of the first
order and a puzzle in the classic tradition....Garcia makes us
laugh at his mystery while creating real suspense. It’s a difficult
feat, but, once again, he pulls it off.”
—The Star-Ledger
Praise for Matchstick Men, by Eric Garcia
“Eric Garcia proves himself an expert at the art of the con.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“In his twisty new novel, Matchstick Men, Eric Garcia pulls a nifty
con game of his own with a hall-of-mirrors story where what you see
is rarely what you get. It’s an elaborate shell game of mooks and
motives, and when the pea is finally revealed, it’s the most
dexterous sleight-of-hand since Kevin Spacey strolled out of a
police station in The Usual Suspects.”
—The Boston Globe
