Reviews
[A] well-wrought investigative report...[Dina Temple-Raston] delves deeply into the lives of these residents of Lackawanna...An elegant examination of how the rules of justice have changed since 9/11. -- Kirkus Reviews Temple-Raston expertly unravels the twisted threads of suspicion versus evidence...Troubling and riddled with questions that may never be answered, this is a fascinating work by an excellent journalist. Gavin narrates with solemn precision. -- Kliatt Reads like a novel...Temple-Raston probes the complexities of being Muslim in America, the obsession of politicians with 'terror' to the detriment of civil liberties, and the fine line between youthful na vet and fundamentalist extremism. Highly recommended. -- Library Journal (starred review) [A] timely story...Marguerite Gavin's brisk pace suits the audiobook's flavor as it maintains the flow of an action-adventure. She handles the abundant Arabic names and places with ease, creating a smooth and artistic presentation...She has the coveted ability to disappear as a narrator, letting the story take the limelight it deserves. -- AudioFile Temple-Raston has created an intense and beautifully crafted narrative that achieves something rare in journalism; a sober account that does not stop at the psychology of the killers but carefully considers the historical and social context of the murder. -- Philadelphia Inquirer
