Kritik
The plot is the work of a craftsman whose storytelling vibrates with colourful description, taut, well-shaped storytelling that has a socially relevant resolutionThe Devils Dust firmly plants author C.B. Forrest at the top of this game and a major force to be reckoned with in Canadian mystery writing. - Hamilton Spectator (Canada July 2012 "What could have been a mawkish tale of redemption is told with honest, restrained but eloquent prose that gives tantalizing glimpses into the sympathetic but sometimes deeply flawed characters. The result is quietly but deeply memorable. -- Publishers Weekly April 2012 "Forrest has the gift of getting into McKelveys soul and sharing that with the reader. We live his anguish and his redemption. We feel the despair of the town and the hope. Were invested in tracking down the drug kingpin, solving the murders, and facing the truths. C.B. Forrest is that powerful a writer that the characters are real, therefore the story is also real." - Mystery Maven May 2012 "Forrest realistically weaves the intricacies of small town character, politics, and police life" - Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC June 2012 "The first book featuring retired Toronto policeman Charlie McKelvey was shortlisted for the Arthur Ellis Award from the Crime Writers of Canada. This second book should make the list again. It's smart, carefully plotted and extremely well-written. It's also sadly topical, focusing on drugs in rural communities." - Globe and Mail August 2012 Forrests book is tightly plotted, but its really McKelveys character development that makes the book work. This is a mature piece of writing from an author who is far younger than his hero. - The Calgary Herald (Canada) Mar 2013 Though the third in a trilogy based on the exploits of Toronto detective Charlie McKelvey, the Devil's Dust reads just as well as a stand alone. -- Ottawa magazine
