DARK WATERS in the Boston Herald

BOUCHERCON PHOTOS

"Move over Spenser and Carlotta Carlyle. Macy Adams is set to take her place in the annals of redoubtable Boston private eyes. Dark Waters is a stunning debut novel. Sibylle Barrasso is a fabulous new talent bound for greatness. This one's a real winner."

       Michael A. Black, author of A Final Judgment and Melody of Vengeance

"If you enjoy private-investigator fiction, you're going to love DARK WATERS. Debut novelist Sibylle Barrasso weaves telling details about  metropolitan Boston into a terrific 'black widow' plot, and Macy  Adams is a credible, empathetic hero who tries to help others even as  her own life slides into oblivion. A surefire candidate for all the  BEST FIRST MYSTERY awards."

       Jeremiah Healy, author of Turnabout and Invasion of Privacy

"A twisty plot and an unpredictable ending--Dark Waters offers an old-fashioned whodunnit with a very new-fashioned heroine. Facing family secrets, hidden agendas, and a way-too-seductive landlord, neophyte PI Macy Adams must untangled a multi-layered murder before she becomes the next victim."

         Best-selling author Hank Phillippi Ryan

"Welcome Boston's newest fictional sleuth, Macy Adams, a blue-blooded Bostonian struggling to stay afloat financially until she lands her new client, a woman charged with murdering her husband, a professor at Boston’s elite university. Sibylle Barrasso delivers like a pro in her debut thriller. Do yourself a favor, and put Dark Waters at the top of your reading list."
