Reviews For Geoffrey Miller

Geoffrey Miller: How I Wrote “THE BLACK GLOVE” 5.0

Miller pretty well equals the masters--Hammett and Chandler--of the hardboiled detective story

Houston post

Geoffrey Miller: How I Wrote “THE BLACK GLOVE” 5.0

Miller's semi-comic fix on the punk-drug subculture is often on-target, and the narration is fine and dry

Kirkus Reviews

Geoffrey Miller: How I Wrote “THE BLACK GLOVE” 5.0

Miller creates passages that you’ll want to immediately read again and that linger long after the paragraph or chapter’s conclusion
