BookLoons Reviews on WHERE IT HURTS
Where It Hurts is a compelling mystery with a lead who easily wins our sympathy, and I hope we will have more of Gus Murphy, soon.

New Orleans Advocate on WHERE IT HURTS
Gus’ stream-of-consciousness narrative gives us a good picture of the dark place he’s in, and the descriptions of his cold Long Island surroundings set a harsh scene of loneliness. He’s a character that’s easy to root for as he works to bring justice to people who have no one else to fight for them.

SONS OF SPADE on Where It Hurts
Gus is so tough, but also so very human that in my eyes he could be the standard the next few PI characters will try to follow.
An amazing new series.

New York Times on WHERE IT HURTS
Coleman’s busy book — set far from the Hamptons in “those ugly patches we Long Islanders like to pretend don’t exist”— has plenty of robust regional flavor.
Shelf Awareness on WHERE IT HURTS
Sharp, clever dialogue, a dynamic cast of characters that represents a cross-section of Long Island cultures and an engaging plot keep Where It Hurts gripping and entertaining. Murphy’s authenticity, his flaws and his complexity make him a character readers will eagerly anticipate in future books. An excellent beginning to a series with great potential.
