Mad Money
Electronic Formats, 2011
“...Mad Money is no lightweight airplane read; instead, we have the fiendishly complex tale of corporate swindles, surreal glimpses into the world of the stock-trader .... For a debut novel — bravo! If you need a fast-paced and fun read Mad Money is for you as it is a light in the noir and far, far from light-weight.” — Ali Karim, Crime Spree Magazine

Death Was in the Picture
St. Martin’s Minotaur, January 2009
“Richards's swell follow-up to Death Was the Other Woman ... handles the slang and patois of the period neatly. Likewise, she paints a vivid picture of the contrast between those just scraping by during the Depression and those living high on the hog. Kitty has plenty of moxie, and while Dex gets top billing on the office door, she's no second banana in this class act.” -- Publishers Weekly

Death Was the Other Woman
St. Martin’s Minotaur, January 2008
“You’re about to meet a great new dame of crime fiction in Death was the Other Woman. Linda L. Richards has created a stunning character with a voice and eye right out of a 1930s L.A. hard-boiled classic -- guns and gams, booze and bodies, peepers and perps. Move over, Sam Spade -- Kitty Pangborn’s on the case.” --LINDA FAIRSTEIN, author of Death Dance

Calculated Loss
MIRA Books, September 2006
“The author’s plot ticks nicely along, the B.C. settings are fun, and Madeline Carter is a smart, classy, and genial companion." -- Adam Woog, Seattle Times

The Next Ex
MIRA Books, December 2005
“Linda L. Richards’ The Next Ex is as smart and sophisticated as its heroine, Madeline Carter. And, like Madeline, it wears its knowledge lightly, guiding the reader through a wonderfully twisty story. But if the plot is engaging, the characters are even more so. This is a Hollywood crime novel for people who love that particular subgenre -- and even for those who think they don't. A bracingly intelligent whodunit.” -- Laura Lippman author of To the Power of Three

Mad Money
MIRA Books, December 2004
“Murder, mayhem, humor, romance, and great characters make this first book in the Madeline Carter series hard to put down.” -- Shelley Mosley, Booklist
