Praise for this book
"A classic Kevin O'Brien page-turner, with a new historical twist. O'Brien takes us deep into Seattle during WWII, as his heroine juggles work, misogyny, solo parenting, and a serial killer on the loose. Nora is a heroine to root for, and the curves in the plot kept me reading late into the night (while checking the locks on my doors!)." - Erica Bauermeister
"A tantalizing whodunnit set in WW II Seattle with a cast of red herrings that had me guessing and turning pages right up to the final, shocking reveal - which I never saw coming." - Charlie Donlea
"Nobody writes suspense better than Kevin O'Brien. Read The Enemy at Home, but do so with the lights on." - Robert Dugoni
"Kevin O'Brien's latest is a compulsively unputdownable, keep-you-guessing-to-the-end, pages-flying whodunit, and as if that weren't enough, The Enemy at Home is also packed with compelling, complicated characters in a fascinating and meticulously-researched time and place. World War II Seattle where women were newly considered workers, Japanese-American citizens were newly considered threats, and closeted gay communities were newly considering a place for themselves all combine to bring this timely novel vividly to life. A new Kevin O'Brien book is always cause for celebration, and this is his best yet." - Laurie Frankel
"Kevin O'Brien's new book takes us to Seattle in the opening years of the US involvement in World War II, when a serial killer is on the loose, targeting women who are contributing to the war effort by becoming Rosie the Riveters. The book is fast-paced, suspenseful, and intriguing, and it kept this reader guessing about the killer's identity nearly till the big reveal. Super enjoyable." - Elizabeth George
