Reviews:
"The campus murder mystery...explores grievances turned deadly. I particularly enjoyed one of the latest examples, DC Frost's A Punishing Breed." —Sarah Weinman, The New York Times
"In this mystery debut novelist DC Frost takes us through the lush world of a tiny liberal arts college and its murderous undergrowth. Masterfully moving between voices, the plot and the psychological twists push us forward, keeping us compulsively reading to the very last page."
—Désirée Zamorano, author of Human Cargo and The Amado Women
"VERDICT: Readers who like campus mysteries and intriguing, gruff detectives with a few redeeming qualities will enjoy this first book in a planned series." —Liz French, Library Journal
"DC Frost does an artful job of weaving in current campus social issues, juggling multiple suspects, and giving us a peek into the tense relationship between the two men who form the heart of the story."—Jen Ryland, Jen Ryland Reviews
