Alice Wright liked Tricia Gates Brown's review of Lie Quietly: "I was drawn in by Wright’s story, which is richly imagined and well written. It was a pleasure journeying into the world of Robbers Bridge (however haunting). Wright does an especially good job writing sexual tension and passion. Brava!"
