"I cannot remember the last time I was so affected by a work of fiction.”

– BookReporter

“John Connolly is a true master of combining suspense and mystery with a dash of supernatural hinted at and thriller instinct that make this a perfect read. Good luck not reading it all in one sitting.”

– Crimespree Magazine

“Connolly’s thoughtful prose is extraordinary, insightful, and deeply contemplative of the nature of man and accepting of human flaws, if weary beyond imagination. This is more than a mystery: a journey, an exploration of men and their gods, a contemplation of the human condition.”

– Curled Up with a Good Book

"As usual, sparks and bullets fly....This is gripping, stylish reading for fans of the supernatural."

– Waterloo Region Record

“The ability to mix fact with fiction has always been one of the great strengths of Connolly’s writing…The Wolf in Winter is a terrific story, but a word to the wise: Don’t read it on a dark and stormy night.”
