Praise
“Superb . . . Fans of Bohjalian’s 11 other novels (including Midwives) know to expect the unexpected and, thanks to his creativity and cunning, readers usually get walloped by one heck of a plot twist by book’s end. In Secrets of Eden, the old saw that none of us knows what really goes on in a house when the shades are drawn rings chillingly true.”—USA Today
“Superbly written – vivid and horrifying without being melodramatic. . . . a tribute to Bohjalian’s storytelling skill.”—The Boston Globe
“Suspenseful. . .searing. . .Bohjalian has written a literary murder mystery that hooks readers early and keeps its secrets until the end. . .Bohjalian’s book is about the power of secrets and sacrifice and a warning against jumping to judgment. Those who doubt their faith, he writes, are sometimes the strongest among us.”—The Miami Herald

“Page-turning.”—Seattle Times
“To call this fine novel a mystery would be like calling the Hallelujah Chorus a nice song . . . Bohjalian has written a gripping story that keeps the reader turning pages to find out what really happened . . . But there is so much more in this rich story. Bohjalian delves into the profound mysteries of human existence. What is faith? What is love? And who are really the angels among us?”—Winston-Salem Journal
“[A] suspenseful page-turner . . . This book will entertain you with its suspense, but it will also make you think about how hurtful secrets can be.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Bohjalian has built a reputation on his rich characters and immersing readers in diverse subjects—homeopathy, animal rights activism, midwifery—and his latest surely won’t disappoint.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Bohjalian “drops bombshell clues . . . and weaves subtle nuances of doubt and intrigue into a taut, read-in-one-sitting murder mystery.”—Booklist, starred review
