Praise for Hidden Falls
“Hidden Falls is many books in one—replete with humor, it’s also a thriller, a love story (or two!), a series of mysteries, a deep reflection on the relationship between fathers and sons, and a demonstration of how the past haunts the present. Kevin Myers manages, through the affable voice of his narrator, Micheal Quinn, to synthesize this complex, many-dimensional world in a compelling, deeply human fashion. Read it!”
“Hidden Falls is like Dennis Lehane and David Sedaris got together to write a romantic comedy. It’s intelligent, charming, and the perfect combination of funny and thrilling.”
“In Michael Quinn, the narrator of Hidden Falls, Kevin Myers has created a deeply sympathetic character, flawed but self-aware. You can’t help but root for Quinn as he tries to reconcile the past he thought he knew with his family’s secret history, and you stick with him as he wades in deeper and deeper. Most of us have navigated passages like this (in less dramatic fashion), discovering new chapters in familiar stories. Myers deftly, vividly explores that strange emotional terrain, where the intimately familiar is suddenly shot through with unexpected revelation. ”
