It will stay with you for quite some time and you will always remember it with a smile.' * Huffington Post * '.elegiac, evocative. This is a book that makes the reader feel better just by having been exposed to the delights of the story. You pick it up and read the first page, and then the second, and you are hooked. Krueger, who is incapable of writing badly, arguably has given us his masterpiece.' * * 'Once in a blue moon a book drops down on your desk that demands to be read. Ordinary Grace is one of those very rare books in which one regrets reaching its end, knowing that the experience of having read it for the first time will never be repeated. Don't take the title too literally, for Krueger has produced something that is anything but ordinary.' * BookPage * 'My best read so far this year.' * * 'One cannot read Ordinary Grace without feeling as if it is destined to be hailed as a classic work of literature. But Ordinary Grace, a new novel from William Kent Krueger, is both, and it is affecting.' * Denver Post * 'A thoughtful literary mystery that is wholly compelling and will appeal to fans of Dennis Lehane and Tom Franklin.

Ordinary Grace by William Kent Kruger is such a novel.' * Capital Journal * 'Besides being a terrific story that examines a powerful range of human experiences and emotions, it was the authentic voice of the teenage narrator, Frank Drum, that kept me reading late into the night.
