“It doesn’t get much darker than this. Author R.J. Ellory is a master of crime fiction . . . [A Dark and Broken Heart] is by turns startling, humorous, shocking, violent and, in the end, starkly redemptive, but only to a point . . . Ellory is stunning, as always . . I recommend this newly published work of his, particularly if you like your noir dirty, grubby and pitch-black. Me? I loved every word.”
- Book Reporter
“Noir fans will welcome Ellory's intricate take on a familiar theme―a morally compromised protagonist's desperate efforts to remain alive and redeem his soul.”
- Publisher's Weekly
“In this disturbing thriller, Ellory magnificently illustrates the most dangerous side of human nature. Highly recommended!”
- The Strand Magazine
“Classic noir, a journey to the dark corners of man’s foolishness, where nothing is ever what it seems and no one can ever be trusted. Ellory is beginning to sound like the master [James Ellroy]. I can think of no higher praise.”
