Praise for Best Boy

“Richly layered and elegantly told, Best Boy is a twisty thriller that dives deep into questions of memory, identity, and the ties that bind. Weaving classic mystery elements with the best of modern psychological        
suspense, the talented Deborah Goodrich Royce deftly draws her reader in, and turns up the tension
page by gripping page. This is a breathless and engrossing must-read about the lies we tell each other—
and ourselves. Don’t miss it!”
