AUGUST 23, 2016:  "Edgar-winner Stansberry takes the reader on a wild ride in this exceptional noir.  From the very first sentence, the unnamed first-person narrator seduces you into a labyrinth of emotions and coups de théâtre.....compelling reading " Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

AUGUST 5, 2016 “Guardians of the literary canon, rejoice. Stansberry, borrowing freely from John Webster's eponymous 1612 tragedy, proves that there's plenty of life and death and nastiness in the classics . . . Perhaps the most surprising feature of this tour de force is its pervasive links to both Jacobean tragedy and contemporary Mediterranean noir. Who knew?” Kirkus Review

AUGUST 12, 2016 “Stansberry nails the sultry, decadent, and erotically charged tone with one perfectly placed hammer stroke after another.”  Booklist, Bill Ott

“(Readers) will relish The White Devil's ability to draw in both thriller and mystery audiences, anything but staid or predictable . . .  more than a murder mystery: a story of Italy, obsessions, candid cultural observations, and a sense of place and confused purpose that keep readers guessing, entertained, and thoroughly immersed."  Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan
