"Immensely readable and smart."--Richard Ford"Elegant and frightening...Dewberry combines a Faulknerian sense of history's power with a clever murder mystery. The result is an unsettling story of ambition, repression and madness set in the gothic capital of America, New Orleans ...impossible to put down."--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"A whodunit with a central question that's more Henry James than P.D. James: Is Grayson going mad, or is she the only sane one in the bunch?"--The Washington Post"A powerful novel of secrets, love and evil...should not be missed."--Minneapolis Star Tribune
"[A] Hitchcockian gem."--Publishers Weekly"A page-turner...Keeps the reader guessing until the end."--Tim Gautreaux, author of The Next Step in the Dance
"Packs an unexpected punch."--The Denver Post"Ms. Dewberry has fashioned a neat, fast-paced, immensely readable and smart murder mystery, set against the lurid intrigues and vivid backdrops of Louisiana politics--which means sex, death, money, ambition, and of course moral loss. What could possibly be better?"--Richard Ford, author of A Multitude of Sins
"The book ends with powerful and terrifying impact."--The Bloomsbury Review
"A delicious blend of nail-biting action and sensual imagery. Dewberry lets it simmer then build to a boil."--The New Orleans Times-Picayune
"In Sacrament of Lies, the line between certainty and madness is as thin as a razor and equally as dangerous. Elizabeth Dewberry has given us a rare gift, a literary thriller that will keep us up all night. This book is riveting."--Ann Patchett, author of Bel Canto"[A] compelling page-turner."--Library Journal (starred)
"An enimently readable literary thriller...a very distinctive narrative voice."--Booklist"An intense mystery novel with a wallop...[a] straightforward story about a murder--at least that's what the novel's narrator, Grayson, believes--in a contemporary Louisiana setting of squalid politics, sex and betrayal. That, of course, adds up to a delicious gumbo, and Dewberry's richly told tale assures it has plenty of spice...It's certainly a page-turner. Dewberry's story balances a lot of elements of literature and thriller with a keen eye, and she has constructed a mystery that likely will keep readers asking questions right up to the explosive conclusion...engrossing...It is indeed a mystery, but the real mystery goes a lot deeper than who did it."--The State (SC)"Dewberry compellingly evokes the claustrophobic effects of fear and suspicion."--Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine"A tight, fast-paced murder mystery set against the backdrop of Louisiana politics. It keeps you guessing until the very end...dark and whimsical moments...a page-turning, explosive showdown."--The Tallahassee Democrat"Dewberry uses New Orleans beautifully, avoiding the Big Easy stereotypes, integrating into the novel the city's history and spectacular decadence...a cunningly wrought puzzle."--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution"An absolutely original retelling of Hamlet...What recommends this story beyond mere cleverness is that it operates so compellingly as a novel in its own right."--Nashville Scene
