Critical Praise

"Hellmann brings to life the reality of bullying among teenage girls with enough twists and turns to keep you reading. Highly recommended."

--- Starred Review, Library Journal, Easy Innocence

 

"There's a new no-nonsense female private detective in town: Georgia Davis, a former cop who is tough and smart enough to give even the legendary V.I. Warshawski a run for her money."

--- Chicago Tribune on Easy Innocence

 

"DOUBLEBACK moves with twists, insightful juxtapositions, and many layers. Hellmann doesn't need to "doubleback." She's indisputably crossed the line into the realm of great crime fiction writers."

--- Crimespree Magazine

 

"Hellmann writes in many genres, but her Georgia Davis series may just be one of the best crime thriller series being written today."

--- The Dirty Lowdown on ToxiCity

 

"Hellmann writes with the economy and emotional punch of classic crime novelists like Lawrence Block. And she has created a perpetrator who is complex, realistic and completely unexpected."

--- Peg Robarchek, on ToxiCity
