"Carefully paced with memorable incidents and brilliant flashes of poetic description, the nevertheless muted tone of the book’s slow burn makes the unremitting cataclysm, when it arrives, all the more shocking. Inevitably, but with an unexpected range of fall-out, Murr reveals a small-town legacy of brutality, passion and vulnerability that lingers in the mind like an obsession." |

"Clever and intense, Murr’s writing captures the extraordinary power of human ties."

The Boy |
 |
"While reading The Boy, I intently turned the pages, carried along by Murr’s dark energy, his sharply intelligent prose, his genius for the unexpected, his keen sense of atmosphere. And the novel’s harrowing conclusion more than demonstrates [Murr’s] stunning gifts.” |
