PURE chosen of the Independent Fiction Alliance's BEST TRULY INDEPENDENT BOOKS OF 2022
"This is a great novel, an immersive read... a mystery novel about something—it’s more than a whodunit... It, like pretty much everything Perry writes, is about death and how we deal with it as humans (and one neurotic Mini-Pinscher)... Pure is the best thing I’ve read by Perry..." -The Irresponsible Reader "'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 "... enthralling lockdown noir... - original, gripping, poignant and important." - DDC Morgan “It’s a magnificent book. Haunting and beautiful.” – Dennis Palumbo “Magnificent... Pure' is not just a book, it’s a journey ...that takes you through the territories of human emotion... A journey that makes you question, makes you think, makes you feel. It’s a journey that is worth taking." –Gabor Por, Jewish Book World "... stark and beautiful." –Ian Ayris "...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 Image upper left: IMMERSION by Wendy Vanguard, 2024, Dr. Martin dyes, charcoal, mixed media, collage on watercolor paper |
