Richard Montanari
Praise for DEVIANT WAY
About the Book
"Psychologically dark, strangely erotic and definitely hard to put down. A winner."
Nelson DeMille, author of THE LION'S GAME and UP COUNTRY
"Montanari keeps things moving with well-placed clues, red herrings and a surprise killer. A scary, suspenseful psychosexual thriller."
Booklist Magazine
"Richard Montanari's vivid portrayal of a serial killing bad-dream team is sick, kinky, realistic, scary as hell and absolutely great."
Kinky Friedman, author of THE MILE HIGH CLUB
"A chilling story . . . razor-sharp writing . . . could do for Cleveland fern bars what Peter Benchley's great white shark did for New England's beaches."
The Plain Dealer
"Montanari skillfully retains the element of high suspense . . . the harrowing climax and enigmatic epilogue wisely leaves the door open for further Jack Paris adventures."
Mostly Murder
"Tough, bloodthirsty, sexually explicit US serial killer tale . . . one hell of a read, though not for the squeamish."
Sarah Broadhurst, Bookseller Magazine

Praise for THE VIOLET HOUR
About the Book
"Consistently surprising . . . Montanari keeps the reader deliciously off balance throughout, letting the novel accrue horrors and deft misdirections, right until its gory end."
Publishers Weekly
"Clever dialogue, fast action, and a good dose of terror make THE VIOLET HOUR a great introduction to a hot rising author."
barnesandnoble.com
"Stephen King would approve of the literary tension that Montanari creates . . . the author fits his strange puzzle pieces together in a Dali-esque climax."
Akron Beacon Journal
"THE VIOLET HOUR is top notch suspense from the hands of a new and promising master."
America Online
"The novel is, like the nameless killer's victims, well executed. And like the killer himself, fiendishly twisted. A real page turner."
Booklist
"With The Violet Hour, Richard Montanari certainly proves himself worthy of a place among the elite of the genre. If dark psychological suspense is your thing, do not miss this book."

Praise for KISS OF EVIL
About the Book
"Razor-sharp plotting with a powerful narrative ... KISS OF EVIL thrills to its very satisfying end."
The Chicago Tribune
"Montanari represents a stunning new kind of suspense; stylish, sensual, gripping and direct. KISS OF EVIL is a pulse-quickening, deftly-crafted page turner."
The Denver Post
"KISS OF EVIL is a no holds barred thriller ... sexually charged ... a sinister tale of delayed revenge ... those with a yen for viscera and violence will appreciate Montanari's scalpel-like narrative skills."
Publishers Weekly
"KISS OF EVIL is a complex, intelligent thriller filled with genuinely suspenseful twists and turns . . . as Paris tries to uncover several truths, he crosses paths with grifters, con artists and crooks, all of whom become more than stock characters in Montanari's gifted hands."
The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"In KISS OF EVIL Richard Montanari has produced an intelligent, terrifying thriller that never follows a predictable path."
The Buffalo News
"While KISS OF EVIL works well as a police procedural, Montanari pumps up the kinetic suspense for a story that is more akin to the no-holds-barred thrillers by Thomas Harris."
The Sun Sentinel
"Intense, spellbinding ... Richard Montanari had the pages flying through my hands ... [he] is rapidly becoming one of my favorite suspense writers."
newbookreviews.com
"With a style reminiscent of George Pelecanos -- only better -- Montanari churns out a masterpiece in suspense, chocked with ultraviolence, sexual tension and darkened clues thrown in at odd angles. Like a Dali painting, the stylized weirdness all begins to make sense. Then it's too late. The trap is set; your jaw drops, your pupils dilate. You wonder how the hell this guy can be so good."
