Why settle for Scandinavian crime writers when we have in our midst a masterful author who can justly be celebrated as the new star of Quebec crime fiction? * Martine Desjardins, L' actualite * Novelist Martin Michaud has produced a thriller that' s solid, fast-moving, intelligent, and enlivened by moments of sharp humour and political insight. * Marie-France Bornais, Journal de Quebec * Readers will be blown away by the imaginative power of this finely-wrought, action-packed thriller. Michaud' s skilled and colourful way with words reveals an excellent storyteller . . . and a master of suspense. * Lisanne Rheault-Leblanc, 7 Jours * With its breakneck pace and flawless storytelling, this is Michaud' s best novel. A thriller to remember! * Norbert Spehner, La Presse * French Canadian author Michaud makes his English-language debut with this raucous crime thriller. * Publishers Weekly * Never Forget will leave you bloodless, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. * Alan Bradley, author of the Flavia de Luce Mysteries * Never Forget is a crackerjack read. Michaud artfully constructs the world of the Montreal police and a broad cast of characters while keeping his eye steady on ways to ratchet up the tension at every turn. * Quill & Quire * Martin Michaud is a master at twisty storytelling and compelling atmosphere. This kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I can' t wait to read Lessard' s next case! * Catherine McKenzie, author of I' ll Never Tell * This chilling Quebec-set thriller opens with a grisly murder worthy of a Saw movie. . . A fine crime novel featuring a cast of well-delineated characters and a plot that demands the reader' s undivided attention. * Booklist * Michaud goes back to the events of the seventies in Montreal when the FLQ was kidnapping cabinet ministers and the revelation was made public that the CIA had conducted mind-control experiments in Montreal hospitals. Michaud is at his best recalling those fraught times through the cooler lens of our present day. It' s great to see Canadian history used to such good effect in a story that resonates as well today as when it happened. -- Margaret Cannon * Globe and Mail * [An] immersive thriller full of darkness, loathing, and vengeance. * Montreal Review of Books * Never Forget is a triumph. * CTV London *
