Review:

[M]agical....[T]he perfect reminder of the dark side of human nature, but that side does not always win out. Penny is an expert at pulling away the surface of her characters to expose their deeper-and often ugly-layers, always doing so with a direct but compassionate hand. "Kirkus Reviews (starred) on THE NATURE OF THE BEAST"

Three Pines again proves no refuge in Penny's stellar [The Nature of the Beast]...fans will delight in [her] continued complex fleshing out of characters they have come to love. "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

[A] compelling mystery that leads to an exciting but tantalizingly open-ended finale. "Booklist on NATURE OF THE BEAST""
