Review Quotes

"A deplorable villain, tantalizing characters, and a hint of romance mix with the twists. What more could a reader ask for? One hopes that Hayman will continue this gripping series." -- Library Journal (starred review) on DARKNESS FIRST

"Hayman creates an intricate plot, engaging regulars, and suspects that are convincing. The suspense is pulse lifting. This is a well crafted thriller written to satisfy both men and women." -- Providence Journal on THE CHILL OF NIGHT

"Taut, deft and with a delicate sense of place, this is supremely accomplished storytelling--not just another depiction of a serial killer rampage." -- Daily Mail (London) on THE CUTTING

"In THE CUTTING, [Hayman] gives readers a suspenseful police procedural whirling around a character who has the brains, courage and human concern to be the reader's hero from start to finish." -- Portland Press Herald on THE CUTTING

"What makes this novel stand out from other mysteries is the strong character based story with many twists and turns." -- Blackfive.net on DARKNESS FIRST

"Hayman's pacing is perfect....THE CUTTING is an unsettling thriller, not because Portland and the state have a history of madmen killing strangers on a rampage. What's frightening is that Hayman makes it seem possible, even probable" -- Bangor Daily News on THE CUTTING
