  What they said about HURRICANE SEASON:

  “Miss Marple meets Eudora Welty (with a trace of Erskine Caldwell).”

  –Kirkus

  “With the kind of realism that stems from William Faulkner, the author skillfully portrays her inbred, suspicious, nasty people … Hurricane Season ends up an orthodox murder mystery, but it is more than that. In a way, [Michaela Thompson] has attempted a microcosm of America, carefully dissecting out a single cell under a very strong lens.”

  –New York Times
