A New Voice in Noir Has Spoken - Melissa Ginsburg

A taut, erotically charged literary noir set in Houston about a woman caught up in her friend’s shocking murder, and the dark truths she uncovers.

Melissa Ginsburg is the author of the poetry collection “Dear Weather Ghost” and the chapbook “Arbor.” Her training as a poet infuses the often workmanlike construction of crime fiction (“He poured a drink,” “She lit a cigarette,” “The phone rang”) with lyricism and pathos. It also informs the book’s pacing, driven more by atmosphere than plot.  Charles McCory, The DM Online
