The marvelous Perry is at it again with a vivid pair of protagonists – a killer for hire in the mold of his unforgettable Butcher’s Boy and a compassionate retired cop hot on the trail – and a compelling plot that will hold you to the very end. — Louise Jones
Clever protagonists, cunning killers, white-knuckle actionThomas Perry delivers all that good stuff in THE BOYFRIEND.” New York Times Book Review
"(Perry's) work is characterized by tight, clean prose, well-drawn characters and heart-pounding suspense." --Associated Press
"Perry is a marvelous plotter, and he builds suspense with all the subtlety of a master chef nursing a risotto to a buttery perfection. It's nothing new to call Perry a master of the genre, but it's no less true for being widely acknowledged." -Booklist (starred review)
"(A) highly original and clever thriller...Perry again proves himself a master stylist and plotter, as he effortlessly builds suspense and delves deeply into his characters." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"While there is plenty of action and tension here (indeed, it may well be Perry’s best book to date), it is the moments that Till spends with his daughter --- in person and across the miles --- that make THE BOYFRIEND a memorable book and give rise to a heartfelt demand that we see more of Till sooner rather than later." --Bookreporter
"The strength of the psychological drama lies in Mr. Perry’s capacity to develop his characters. Mr. Perry has turned out another riveting mystery." --The Washington Times
"Perry's prose is perfect. "The Boyfriend" is a model for thriller writers and one that should reinforce the reputation of the author of "The Butcher's Boy" and "The Informant." If you haven't read anything by Thomas Perry, you're in for a delightful surprise." --Huntington News
