“Filled with idiosyncratic characters, Currie’s stirring, cinematic tale blends mystery, suspense, and domestic drama to incisively interrogate the limits of filial responsibility. It’s a major achievement. ”
“Maine author Ron Currie has won devoted fans for his quick-paced, darkly comic novels, and with The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne, he will surely claim even more. In Babs, a Franco-American crime boss who also happens to be a devoted grandmother, Currie has written one of those characters you never knew you needed until she appeared on the page. A Shakespearean drama in hardscrabble Maine, this is an addictive and unforgettable read. ”
