CrimeReads “A Best Fall Read of 2018”
“Chandlar’s lush historical novel follows Mayor LaGuardia in 1936 as his political future stalls under the weight of a missing persons case. Chandlar sets out to capture the complexities of the 1930s, a time of great art and culture as well as a time of great suffering.”
“Chandlar has an eye for detail so New York City in the 1930s—the clothes, the nightclubs, the food—are all quite vivid and tangible.”
“From the colorful and well-researched backdrops that make you feel as if you are definitely part of the 1936 realm; to the vibrant characters who must fight both good and evil in themselves to see justice done, Chandlar has done a fantastic job creating a suspense that you’ll wish to read again.”
“Readers will love The Gold Pawn for its compelling plot, rich historical details, action, and mystery, as well as the likable main characters... Chandlar has found a way to blend accurate historical facts with a more contemporary mind-set...Readers will eagerly await the next book. Highly recommended.”
