Praise for Hotel Noir:

"A noirish combination of F. Scott Fitzgerald and early P. D. James on steroids, as told by a narrator who knows how to weave a web and pull you in without your realizing that you are caught. An intriguing literary crime novel filled with wonderfully zany characters Agatha Christie would have killed for." Sam Millar, NY Journal of Books

"I was not far into the book when I drew the comparison of Hotel Noir to Death in Venice." Charlie Courtland, aka Archie Standwood

"Compellingly readable throughout... the whole book is a delight." Jack Chapman, author of Watching Marilyn

"I'm thoroughly intrigued by this novel, though not necessarily for straightforward reasons. I think what has hooked me is that it doesn't seem like anything else. Casper Silk has a wholly unique voice. It's an entirely bizarre one, too, and Hotel Noir is a dark yet evocative portrait of an island quickly changing, a hotel of another era, and a man caught in the midst." Lexy Bloom
