Reviews
“I absolutely adored this book. Really fun but with a few teeth, as well. Mrs. Plansky is a terrific character. The story ticks along like a good watch.” —Stephen King
“Mrs. Plansky’s Revenge is a triumph that pits an original, memorable, and deeply human protagonist against a plausible threat, then takes us on an unexpected, thrilling, and satisfying journey. Heartfelt, thoughtful, and always suspenseful.”—Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of An Honest Man
“Mrs. Plansky is a wonderfully memorable heroine, full of wit and equally plausible as an ace tennis player and a motorcycle-driving detective with Romanian gangsters hot on her tail. Readers will be eager to see what Mrs. Plansky gets up to next.”—Publishers Weekly
“Quinn’s briskly plotted nail-biter takes unexpected twists and turns that are nicely balanced by Mrs. Plansky’s memories of her husband… Her age never becomes a detriment. Rather, she works it to her advantage, employing great ingenuity to solve a crime that elevates her into an immensely likable, wholly appealing heroine.” —Shelf Awareness (starred review)
“Fans of Spencer Quinn’s long-running Chet and Bernie series will not be disappointed with his new stand-alone novel, MRS. PLANSKY’S REVENGE… While the plot is delightful, the story and themes are significant and serious. There are many reasons that MRS. PLANSKY’S REVENGE is worthy of a long discussion by book clubs… [Mrs. Plansky’s] kind heart, sense of justice, and grit and determination make MRS. PLANSKY’S REVENGE a novel that should not be missed.” –Bookreporter.com
“There’s a lot of derring-do and old-fashioned hugger-mugger, which is what Abrahams does best. I… love Mrs. Plansky.” –Globe & Mail
