KICK Gets Boost From Maslin
Chelsea Cain’s latest, One Kick, (S&S; S&S Audio), releasing today, is the beginning of a new series, one that the NYT‘s Janet Maslin says “is capable of reaching a much broader audience because it is far less gruesome [than the author’s Gretchen Lowell series], at least by Ms. Cain’s standards.”
The reviewer for sister publication, the NYT Book Review, however, sees it as an “unsettling new thriller, which delves into the bleak and disturbing subject of child abduction and pedophilia,” and compares the protagonist to Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander.
See how disturbing you find it, by reading the OverDrive Sample.
One Kick is also the #1 LibraryReads pick for August.
Holds are currently modest in most libraries, but if Maslin’s prediction proves true, they are likely to grow.
