NATIONAL BESTSELLER
FINALIST FOR THE OLA EVERGREEN AWARD
WINNER OF THE JIM CONNORS DARTMOUTH BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION
FINALIST FOR THE CBC BOOKIE AWARDS
“The novel is a gripping mystery. . . . the reader remains on the
edge of his or her easy chair.” —The Kingston Whig-Standard
“Linden MacIntyre proves once again how adept he is at dealing with
the topical and the taboo. . . . Punishment has a puzzle of a
plot and will surely keep most readers guessing until the final
pages. . . . MacIntyre has painted a brilliant picture of a small
community where the close and far-reaching ties that bind can also
strangle.” —Winnipeg Free Press
“Knife-twistingly powerful. . . . I have never read anything quite
like it. . . . It urges a reader to stay up deep into the
night as I did, flipping pages feverishly. . . . Punishment .
. . is its own wondrous beast, every bit as vigorous as Lehane’s
own brilliant work. With it, MacIntyre cements his reputation as
one of our country’s most vital writers.” —Craig Davidson, The
Globe and Mail
“Punishment is another winner that displays all
of MacIntyre’s talent for character development, for
sympathetic treatment of people’s foibles and shortcomings, and for
descriptions of landscapes—with the addition of amazing crime
novel twists and turns. . . . [A]n absolute frenzy of
unexpected exposés.” —Waterloo Region Record
