​Chicago Writers Association Says Poison



Girls Is The Best Book of the Year!

Picture
​A crime reporter discovers a serial killer targeting daughters of Democratic powerhouses in Chicago and becomes entangled in an underworld where drugs, cops, gangs, politics, and privilege collide.
Poison Girls is both breathtaking and compelling...a riveting crime thriller
             --M.L. Collins, judge for the Chicago Writers Association Book Awards


“Already an award-winning investigative reporter, Cheryl Reed now proves equally talented in the world of fiction. At turns raw and tragic, tender and ultimately uplifting, Poison Girls is an impressive debut.”
-- Sean Chercover, award-winning author of The Savior's Game


“Provocative... Its biggest strength is its evocative depiction of the 
                     Windy City.”  
--Library Journal 


“An ambitious book, noirish, Dickensian in a modern way, and rooted in the realistic tradition.” 
--Stuart Dybek, MacArthur "Genius" Award Winner and author of The Coast of Chicago ​

  “Touching, salty, brutal, organized, lost, powerful and tragic.”    
​
--Janet Burroway, author of Writing Fiction
