Caught (TV tie-in edition)

[Lisa Moore’s] written a new kind of legend for a new Newfoundland. Emily Landau, Reader's Digest

…precise, compressed, intimately rhythmic, mesmerizingly smart. Leah Hager Cohen, Globe and Mail

Caught is an outstanding novel, combining the complexity of the best literary fiction with the page-turning compulsive readability of a thriller. Jeet Heer, National Post

Lisa Moore’s new book is a beautiful piece of writing… Duncan McMonagle, Winnipeg Free Press

[T]his novel that is rife with realness, and beauty, and tension; so much it hurts, in the best possible way. Morgan Murray, Newfoundland Quarterly

Moore’s prose is as vivid as ever... Susan G. Cole, NOW Magazine

…Caught proceeds like a lit fuse. David Chau, Georgia Straight

As trippy, mellow, and revelatory as Hearn’s weed, Caught takes pleasure from rewriting crime formulas and gives pleasure in doing so. Brett Josef Grubisic, The Vancouver Sun

There is so much more to praise Moore for. The novel is rich with her subtle injections of humour, her careful pacing, and her clear yet coarse dialogue that leaves just enough unsaid. Of course, it also lives up to the ultimate test of a thriller – there is no doubt that this is a page-turner. Kaiva Brammanis, McGill Daily

…in Caught Moore has clearly set out to challenge the conventions of crime writing. Jeff Miller, Cult Montreal

Even we, as readers, will be caught by the timbre and skill of Moore’s storytelling and her careful sculpting of characters. Jodi Delong, Chronicle Herald

This is an author who grips you with her impeccable use of language. The novel walks a great line between paperback levity and psychological intelligence—exactly what you want in a summer read. Julia De Laurentiis Johnson, Maclean's

…sharp lines, seedy characters and the kind of can’t-put-it-down suspense you might expect from a dime store detective novel but with Lisa Moore-level construction, detail and meticulous prose. This isn’t Moore slumming it in suspense fiction—but genre elevation… The Coast

With linguistic verve and a magnified curiosity about whatever passes through her field of vision, Moore elevates the cops-and-robbers subgenre to literary respectability. Richard Cumyn, Winnipeg Review

The reader can only marvel at the precision of Moore's observations. Mark Frutkin, Literary Review of Canada

...witty, retrospective, eloquent and exciting. Moore has crafted an old-timey adventure with good guys and bad guys — who are also one in the same. Amy Rosen, Chatelaine

...Moore’s Caught is a fantastic read. It’s a rapid ride, with a strong current of tension that never lets up. Jennifer Lori, PRISM international

A superbly written novel that crosses literary boundaries, Caught will surely garner [Moore] even wider readership. Mike Heffernan, Atlantic Books Today

Caught is a pleasure to read. The narrative is cohesive and propulsive, but it’s Moore’s mastery of language and image that sets her apart. Heather Cromarty, Quill & Quire

Moore's ability to conceal a drum-tight plot line and an unflagging fidelity to the thematic pillars of Caught—mistakes and luck, trust and doubt, consequences and freedom—in the cloak of rough-and-tumble prose is something to behold. Laurie D Graham, The Malahat Review
