– James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author

– Historical Novel Society

"Hold on to your seats, readers, because this is a thrill ride of a story, made even more exciting because it’s all so current and feels very real. I really liked the character of Dr. Larissa Klimt...she’s as complex as the story she is telling. It will definitely satisfy the appetite of the conspiracy theorists out there, and it’s a good mystery too."

– A Line From a Book

"A lively, fun diversion that will appeal to fans of The DaVinci Code and the like."

– Criminal Element

"The Bookworm packs a punch similar to that of a Dan Brown novel. It uses a quasi-historical fiction plot mixed with thriller that sees our heroine attempt to solve a mystery by using her mind more than her actions. Combine that with the back-and-forth between the 1940’s and present day and The Bookworm has all ingredients in the recipe for my favorite kind of books."
