What Critics Say about: Penny Mickelbury's "Darkness Descending"
"Italian cop Gianna Maglione and African-American reporter Mimi Patterson are two of the most disparate and intriguing investigators in all of mystery fiction. Penny Mickelbury is one of our best writers. Between the three of them, we have a compelling, electric mystery that takes us into the heart, the secrets, and the deadly menace to an insular community – and does so with fire and compassion…her work is more relevant than ever. She is not to be missed."
Katherine V. Forrest,
The Kate Delafield Mysteries
"I like the world this author paints. Her pen is on the pulse of her readers. She knows how to turn a phrase and paint a believable and seductive picture. She doesn’t just show us characters, but inspires us to think about them and see ourselves in them.”
Rev. Dr. Shirlene Holmes,
Award-winning, playwright and author
“Sophisticated and breakthrough… a novel that challenges the gay and lesbian community to examine its internalized homophobia in the days of the emerging awareness of the AG/Dom community, the media hyped down-low brothas and in the continuing struggle of hate crime injustice.”
