Burl Barer, an Edgar Award winning author, just reviewed my novel, Dirty Little Angels. It’s the kind of review a writer dreams of but never expects to receive. Thanks so much, Burl. The blurb is below:

Dirty Little Angels is the To Kill a Mockingbird of 2009. Brilliant, tender, engrossing, compassionate and challenging, Chris Tusa’s Dirty Little Angels marks the debut of a brave new voice in contemporary American literature. –Burl Barer, Edgar Award winning author of The Saint, Mom Said Kill, Body Count, Murder in the Family
