Alta
One of the best crime novels in recent years.

Oline H. Cogdill,
South Florida Sun Sentinel
A bleak setting to be sure, but brilliantly explored as Pochoda burrows deep into her characters’ psyche.
Positive
Kristine Huntley,
Booklist
Visceral descriptions of everything from the proliferation of homeless encampments to the simmering emotions of her characters distinguish Pochoda’s latest, intense novel..
Rave
Jane Jorgenson,
Library Journal
Pochoda’s evocation of the Old West with a couple of desperados on the run is flawlessly executed with each gritty page in this contemporary thriller, but she goes a step further in allowing the rage of her female protagonists to take center stage..

Alice Martin,
Shelf Awareness
Pochoda unleashes a combination of raw energy and poignant loss in Sing Her Down, a ferocious, feminist western.
Pan
Kirkus
The story is laid out in shifting perspectives, with much of the plot conveyed either in awkward dialogue, by a Greek chorus–type character back at the jail, or by clunky internal ruminations.
