Other text

"Negative Girl by Libby Cudmore is a sharp subversive exploration of the PI novel that elevates the genre while never sacrificing the thrills. A fantastic book!"– S.A. Cosby, bestselling author of All The Sinners Bleed and Razorblade Tears"Negative Girl is a masterfully written PI novel and a love letter to Gen X music all rolled into a hardboiled treat. After you're done frantically flipping pages, build a playlist." – Kimberly G. Giarratano, author of the Billie Levine series “Libby Cudmore’s Negative Girl is a simmering neo-noir that crackles with verve and voice. Few novels can feel modern and timeless at once, but Cudmore pulls it off with confidence and a private eye duo that is up there with Lehane’s Pat and Angie. I loved this book.” – Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity and Alter Ego "Beautifully rendered with a cast of bruised, bittersweet characters, Libby Cudmore's latest absolutely crackles with life, charm, and above all, that secret, particular music of the human heart. Negative Girl is the real deal."– Matthew Lyons, author of A Mask of Flies
