PRAISE

“Rose Dhu—as we expect in the best mystery novels—rivets our attention from the opening chapter to its stunning conclusion, but equally impressive is how Savannah itself becomes a character. We see the city’s grandeur but also the corruption and class consciousness hidden beneath. Memorable characters, moral complexity, and perfect pacing makes this novel worth of a wide and appreciative audience. Bravo!”
—Ron Rash, author of The Caretaker (A book of the year selection from The New Yorker)

“Rose Dhu is more than a mystery—it’s a penetrating portrait of how a community holds itself together when long-simmering secrets begin to emerge. With the strong sense of place and deep empathy he’s displayed for years with his penetrating portraits of Savannah, Mark Murphy reminds us that the most unsettling truths rarely stay hidden forever. Rose Dhu is the kind of novel that pulls you in with suspense and leaves you thinking long after the final page.”
—Bruce Feiler, New York Times bestselling author of Life Is in the Transitions and A Time to Gather

“Rose Dhu is a rich tapestry of good versus evil. Not to miss.”
— Catherine Coulter, NYT bestselling author
