"This is a great novel, an immersive read... a mystery novel about something—it’s more than a whodunit (assuming there was something for a “who” to have “dun”). It, like pretty much everything Perry writes, is about death and how we deal with it as humans (and one neurotic Mini-Pinscher). There’s more to chew on, too, but that’d be telling…It’s trite to say 'this moved me.' But it did, and I can’t think of a better way to phrase it, so trite it is. Pure is the best thing I’ve read by Perry..." - The Irresponsible Reader
"... enthralling lockdown noir... - original, gripping, poignant and important." - DDC Morgan
“It’s a magnificent book. Haunting and beautiful.” – Dennis Palumbo
"...the spiritual inhabits Perry's novel as she deftly camouflages mystery against themes of grief, guilt, love and reconciliation. The mystery will get under your skin, for sure, but the humanity... will resonate far beyond the page." –Steven Cooper
"Once again Jo Perry has made something dark and beautiful.” – Derek Farrell
"I reveled in this book. Sometimes funny. Sometimes poignant. Always deeply satisfying." -Terry Shames
"'Pure’ grabbed me by the goodies on page one and refused to let go. That’s why I’m including it in the 'Criminally Good Books' section of my October newsletter. Need more novels like this, to restore my faith in fiction." - Greg Levin
