Cloudland - Softcover

'Evocative... the intricate whodunnit has faint echoes of [Wilkie] Collins with Catherine in the role of his Woman In White, wandering desolate hills, but not trying nearly hard enough to escape her past.' --The Boston Globe

'Joseph Olshan has stepped up and hit one for the home team. The bracing clarity of his prose...observes the destructive impact [the] killings have on this isolated region.' --Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review

'In this refreshingly cliché-free serial-killer tale, Olshan tries his hand with a female narrator/heroine, whom he handles just as deftly as his sensitive male heroes. Although all these chilly, hurting souls are well worth your time, the real keeper is Catherine. Even as you wonder who the killer will turn out to be, you ll worry mainly about how she s going to come through all this' --Kirkus Reviews

The Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire is a rural region that lies on either side of the Connecticut River. It is a place populated by wealthy and working class people, a place where people feel safe. But when a serial killer begins to target young women, everything changes.
