| "Midnight, by Tom Claffey, is a captivating read. Suspense, danger, courage, love, and kindness intertwine in this story of intrepid long-haul trucker, Kelsey Brannigan, her dog Max, and a Raven named Midnight." - Lucia St. Clair Robson  "At first glance, wild bird rescue and women truck drivers may seem an unlikely combination. But in Midnight, the story unfolds as smoothly as a bird’s wing soaring through the clouds. The challenges of rehabilitating an injured raven and the heart-pounding tension presented by some very evil bad guys add extra levels of complexity to this well-crafted novel about deep friendships and the modern American West. A good read!" - Anne Hillerman "A deftly crafted work of instantly engaged reading from first page to last, "Midnight" clearly showcases the author's genuine flair for originality and character driven storytelling, making Tom Claffey's "Midnight" certain to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition for community library Contemporary General Fiction collections." - Midwest Book Review |
