Tenkill

“Tenkill is dazzling in its voice, its pace, its setting, and its determination to use the law as a force for good. I hope Kirk is already working on a sequel.”
– Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of House on Fire

“(An) intriguing legal thriller… fast pacing and plot twists… Greta and crew are capable of sustaining a sequel.”
– Publishers Weekly

“Kirk’s legal expertise is apparent in the investigation’s absorbing high-tech details, and the tense, carefully plotted chases through Boston’s streets have a cinematic quality.”
– Booklist

“Far more than just an energetic page-turner, it’s a commentary on our country’s recent four-year flirtation with anarchy. And in Greta Seville, readers have a fictional embodiment of every American still fighting to keep our democracy alive.”
– Washington Independent Review of Books

“One of the Most Anticipated Thrillers of 2023.”
– She Reads

“I loved it! Heart pounding excitement from beginning to end. With an authentic and immersive Boston setting, and brilliantly original characters, and a completely propulsive story. I could not put this down.”
– Hank Philippi Ryan, bestselling author of The House Guest

“I’m not sure I can adequately express how much I loved this book. It’s a legal thriller, sure, but also so much more. I loved this cast of characters, the plot moves at a delicious breathtaking pace, and yet everything is so richly drawn and emotional. It’s been compared to The Firm, which I also loved, but I think it’s better. I’d read the hell out of a sequel, or whatever else Shannon writes.”
– Tara Laskowski, author of One Night Gone

“Fast-paced. If you like novels with strong female protagonists and feminist takes on the classics, add this one to your list.”
– Reader’s Digest

“Tenkill is a fever dream of crime and punishment from a real-life legal virtuoso. Surreal and freewheeling at times, funny, harrowing, and terrifyingly realistic at others, she brilliantly captures the maddening absurdity of today’s climate of rampant corruption and unchecked white collar crime and the genius and grit necessary for the warriors of the law to bring them to justice. A Picasso of a legal thriller.”
– Emily Carpenter, Amazon bestselling author of Burying the Honeysuckle Girls and Every Single Secret

“Shannon Kirk takes readers on a thrill ride of 21st-century lawyering that left me breathless all the way until the explosive end. The novel is a thriller, yes, but it’s textured with gothic and lyrical elements that never get in the way of the plot’s propulsive motion but somehow make the story add up to something bigger than you think it will be.”
– Elisabeth Elo, author of Finding Katarina M. and North of Boston

“A wild ride, packed with originality, humanity, and energy. Add in a fast-paced delivery, smart, individualistic, snarky, funny characters, and you have a thriller that won’t let go until you turn the last page.”
– Margaret Murphy, Dagger-winning author of Before He Kills Again

“One of the top 10 thriller and suspense books to read in 2023.”
