“Few suspense novelists display a better grip of political and racial divides than Attica Locke, and she spins a hell of a good story as well, introducing characters and locales you will want to visit again and again.”

—Bruce Tierney, BookPage (starred review)

“Here, antebellum sympathies abound, and the current political landscape in which the novel is set makes this a heartfelt read on race relations in the south.”

—Sheena Kamal, CrimeReads

“Locke makes the complex backstory accessible. This one’s another Edgar contender.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Locke is brilliant at creating tense mysteries where the setting is as alive, and important, as the characters without distracting—but rather enhancing—the mystery element. You get history, a great mystery, smart twists, rich characters, and a deep exploration of the justice—and injustice—system of our country.”

—Jamie Canaves, BookRiot

“Both a fascinating, smartly plotted mystery and a pertinent picture of the contemporary United States, Heaven, My Home is refreshing, dour, and thrilling all at once. Readers will be anxious for more of Ranger Darren Mathews. This scintillating murder mystery, set in Trump-era East Texas, with a black main cast and racial concerns, is gripping, gorgeously written, and relevant.”

—Julia Kastner, Shelf Awareness

“Locke’s new novel is a mystery ripe for this age…What makes Locke’s mysteries so good is her ability to conjure up a mood with vivid prose. Her depiction of Texas is so evocative you can practically hear the beer cans cracking open and smell the swamp water.”

—Tomi Obaro, BuzzFeed

“Locke’s advancement here is so bracing that you can’t wait to discover what happens next along her East Texas highway.”
