ELECTRIFYING PRAISE FOR JENNY SILER’S NOVELS
Flashback
“The complex puzzle of a life forgotten powers this beautifully written spy novel … An air of lyrical melancholy hangs over the novel … The plotting is deft, the characters believable and, in the end, Eve finds who she was, even if she remains unsure of what that means or what she will become.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Unexpected depths of both intrigue and emotion, all of which keeps Flashback a cut above its genre.”
—Houston Chronicle
“Eve is a winning character—and Siler’s prose remains as bracing as in her earlier books.”
—Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer
“Siler has outdone herself in Flashback.”
—The Denver Post
“Fans will think Ludlum with this exciting thriller starring a wonderful protagonist who ensures that the plot freshens up the trite amnesiac victim in peril. The story line is exciting … A terrific taut thriller.”
—Midwest Book Review
“Tight prose and a quicksilver plot complete the package. Siler knows how to write an absorbing page-turner. Flashback is every bit as much fun as her last [Shot].”
—Library Journal
“A welcome addition to the Grit-Lit boys’ club. Siler can slice and dice and talk tough with the best of them … The action is swift, the setting is exotic, and Siler’s riffs on memory are memorable.”
—The Baltimore Sun
“Relentless pace and some clever plot twists keep you guessing in this Bourne Identity update.”
—Mystery Lovers Bookshop News
Shot
“Shot is everything a thriller should be: spare enough to keep the tension constant, but brimming with fully realized characters who are heroic, in part, because of their flaws; smart enough, with its biochemical warfare– centered plot, to keep the reader guessing, but never didactic … Damn good fun.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Shot, the third of Jenny Siler’s riveting suspense novels, showcases her strong female characters and superbly paced plotting … The pieces come together fast and furious in this sharply written and timely novel evocative of the best of the ‘noir’ genre.”
—The Baltimore Sun
“Quirky characters, a quicksilver plot, and chase scenes aplenty … In Siler’s dirty but redeemable universe, everyone ends up on higher ground.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A sizzling nail-biter, ratcheting up the suspense with each page, keeping the reader guessing during the entire tension-filled trip.”
—Mary-Ann Tirone Smith, author of Love Her Madly

—Lynn Hightower, author of High Water
“Siler hits her marks with quick, fast takes packed with telling clues and sharp details.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Siler’s latest crime novel features not one but two of the strong female characters that have become her trademark … The path they take from drawn weapons to uneasy alliance against secretive and powerful foes makes this a substantial and suspenseful thriller.”
—Booklist
Iced
“Poetry with attitude.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Jenny Siler writes like a hard-boiled angel, prose as dazzling as cut stones, characters as polished and complex as diamond facets, and a plot as compelling as unbridled greed.”
—James Crumley, author of Bordersnakes
“The first thing you notice about Jenny Siler’s atmospheric novel Iced is the elegance of the prose laid against the rough-and-tumble exterior of her protagonist. The result is a novel that works on two levels, that of a terrific thriller layered with imagery and passages of soulful, beautiful writing. Siler’s first book, Easy Money, was a huge critical success and put the author on the literary map. Iced will keep her there. Here is a major talent.”
—The Denver Post
“Gardner’s unshakable moral foundation gives her depth and likability as she untangles a knot of murder and mayhem with roots in a plane crash decades ago. It’s a bleak, intricate story. And Meg Gardner’s a keeper.”
—The Baltimore Sun
“One of the new talents in tough-gal crime fiction … She handles the hard-boiled writing style with a natural grace, never sounding forced or stagy … It effectively reveals Gardner as a complex soul, faithless and dour, as rugged as the Montana wilderness.”
—Publishers Weekly
Easy Money
A New York Times Notable Book
“Once in a blue moon, a new writer speaks up in a voice that gets your attention like a rifle shot. Jenny Siler … has that kind of voice … clean, direct and a little dangerous … An intensely vivid piece of writing.”

“In her first novel, 27-year-old author Jenny Siler has shown tough-guy thriller writers how a woman does it. And she packs some punch … A terrific thriller.”
—The Wall Street Journal

—Publishers Weekly
“Breezy, cool violent action debut featuring a two-fisted, pistol-packing tough gal courier chased by bad guys across a shattered, washed-up-and-left-for-dead American heartland … A bumpy, bloody road trip into a dark past and darker present from a writer who may have what it takes to be a genre star.”
—Kirkus Reviews
