Praise for In the Shadow of Gotham
“Superior historical mystery... The author has inevitably been compared to Caleb Carr, whom she certainly rivals in her meticulous research into the period and its fledgling forensics.... She does an outstanding job of blending historical detail with engaging characters and a suspenseful plot.”
—The Denver Post
“Pintoff excavates a rich vein of early criminology.... She also delivers a gripping detective story.... Great for dexterous plotting and for New York atmosphere at the turn of the last century.”
—Booklist
“Will remind many of Caleb Carr at his best.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“What a fabulous first novel... Pintoff’s fascinating historical mystery has believable multidimensional characters.”
—Romantic Times (Best First Mystery of 2009)
"The first winner of the Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Competition nicely contrasts academic theorizing with the reality of police detection set against the backdrop of a vividly depicted turn-of-the-century Gotham. Recommended to readers who enjoy historicals of this period, such as Caleb Carr’s The Alienist and Ann Stamos’s Bitter Tide.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
