Conway’s jump into novel length is as lean and sexy as her cardio-kickboxing heroine.
Kirkus Reviews
The story is less a traditional mystery than a new millennium comic-opera version of a mystery. Conway not only speaks the shorthand of the Internet generation but uses it to create a smart and sassy tale with a heroine who could well be the prototype of a new era of female sleuths.
Houston Chronicle
12 Bliss Street is a thoroughly up-to-date novel in which even the depraved lunatics have high-speed access. Conway herself writes in streamlined prose reminiscent of Douglas Coupland, full of clever neologisms and pocket Zen.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer
[Conway] makes San Francisco—from West Portal to Market Street to Potrero Hill—come alive.
San Francisco Chronicle
12 Bliss Street is a funny upbeat chick-lit mystery starring a feisty resolute woman …. Martha Conway is writing for the thirty-something crowd who will adore this work.
