praise for Dead Money​​

​

New York Times Book Review:

Kerr's terrific debut, which appears to be a traditional whodunit but is really an unpredictable nesting-box of surprises . . . Kerr, who worked at Airbnb for a decade, brings an insider’s knowledge and a satirist’s sensibility to the vanities and delusions of Silicon Valley.

​

Amazon Editor's Pick and #1 selling private investigator mystery on Amazon.

​

Publisher's Weekly (starred review):

“Impressively unpredictable…after setting the stage for a standard, albeit glitzy, murder mystery, Kerr takes the narrative on a series of hairpin turns before arriving at a jaw-dropping finale. This marks the arrival of a formidable new talent.”

​

Kirkus (starred review):

"Twisty, propulsive… Kerr has created one of the most memorable female thriller protagonists in recent years…A sharply observed portrait of the tech world and the role ambitious women play in it.”

​

Seattle Times:

“Exhilarating and unpredictable…Packed with jaw-dropping twists, a compelling outsider heroine and scathing insights into the tech world’s glittering facade, “Dead Money” is an electrifying debut that demands to be devoured.”​
