"In this high-octane series launch, Welsh-Huggins introduces scrappy freelance courier Mercury Carter. . . . With full-throttle pacing from start to finish, this will have Jack Reacher fans hoping Carter is back in action soon."

– Publishers Weekly

"In Mercury Carter, Huggins does an outstanding job of creating a character that rivals the top action heroes of today. This first book in a new series will leave fans on edge waiting for the next installment. When you pit a determined character with an impossible plot, you get a thriller that keeps readers turning the page."

– Suspense Magazine

"The author of The End of the Road introduces a determined, innovative courier in the vein of Lee Child's Jack Reacher or James Byrne's Dez Limerick. Appearances are deceiving in this fast-paced thriller, and the characters are introduced gradually so as not to overwhelm the outstanding series debut."

– Library Journal STARRED REVIEW

"The series kickoff by the prolific author of the Andy Hayes mysteries spools out like a fast-paced treasure hunt. . . . A brisk and busy chase thriller."

– Kirkus

"Because of my Reacher fandom, I'm always on the lookout for a Reacher-like hero who can fill the gaps without being an outright Reacher clone or diluted version of the original. I was pleased to find a promising new candidate in the character of Mercury Carter in Andrew Welsh-Huggins' The Mailman."

– Chicago Tribune

"The Mailman provides zero opportunity to catch your breath from start to finish, and Mercury Carter is one of the most confounding yet satisfying characters I have read in any thriller."

– BookReporter

"Welsh-Huggins's sharp plotting is propulsive, and The Mailman's high-adrenaline pace never lets up. . . . Merc has much in common with Jack Reacher and Colter Shaw, but Welsh-Huggins makes him a distinct character."

– Shelf Awareness

"The Mailman is an auspicious series debut. Mercury Carter is a terrific addition to the solitary, quick thinking, resourceful contemporary knight in white."

– Crimespree Magazine

"This exciting thriller had me turning the pages, desperate to see what would happen next as the plot raced from one twist to the next. Action-packed and clever, this is a nimble mystery for the 21st century, with an unforgettable hero who's my newest favorite fictional character."

– Criminal Element

"The Mailman is a top-notch thriller that opens strong and fast with a home invasion and kidnapping and never relents until the very last page. Andrew Welsh-Huggins creates an eccentric, resourceful, single-minded protagonist—Mercury Carter—surrounds him with a rich cast of allies and adversaries, and propels them all on a cat-and-mouse chase filled with expertly drawn action and stunning reversals. This is a book you won't want to miss."
