"In a word, wow! ... Underneath is spell-binding. You almost want to read it in one sitting but you can stop anywhere and come back to it." —Patch"Beautiful sentences telling a dreadful, tragic tale of love, in its absence and its perverse, incomprehensible to normies, twisted shapes." —Expendable Mudge Muses Aloud"A memorably chilling, compulsively engaging, deftly crafted and thought-provoking read from an author with a genuine flair for originality and the kind narrative driven storytelling is the foundation literary excellence, Underneath is especially recommended for the personal lists of mature readers and for community library Contemporary Crime Fiction collections." —Midwest Book Review"Underneath is a haunting novel about the making of a serial killer." —Eileen Gonzalez, Forward Review
