Amberville

True identities constantly shift in this world -- lovers might be enemies, priests can be evil, and stuffed animals, given the depth and intellect that Davys gives them, may as well be human

Chicago Sun-Times

Oddly gripping and convincing ... Skip that evening Scotch and read this one stone-cold sober -- it's plenty trippy as is

Washington Post

A delightful mystery-thriller set in a city populated by stuffed animals...dastardly fun to read

San Francisco Chronicle

In this off-beat debut, Davys marries film-noir-slick with teddy-bear-sweet to create a cutthroat world peopled with stuffed animals. Like Who Killed Roger Rabbit's evil cousin, this gangster story is replete with stakeouts, break-is, threats, coercion and double dealing....With its engaging characters, refreshing perspective and action-packed plot, AMBERVILLE is poised to become one of the must-read books of the year

Winnipeg Free Press

Hardboiled teddy bears, voluptuous rats, pious penguins and exploding fowl populate a world that's violent, tender, hilarious, and downright sickening. Really, what could be better?

Eric Garcia, author of Matchstick Men

These are stuffed animals like you've never seen: deep, dark, and, somehow, utterly believable. Lucky us--a mystery that's completely original

Brad Meltzer

This genre-busting curiosity is already a hit in the US . . . Watership Down with car chases.

Telegraph

Utterly believable . . . a lot of fun.
