“Browne’s thrillers are lean, mean, and thoroughly entertaining. With a hint of the supernatural, Browne starts with a bang and never stops. Potent and breathtaking. An adrenaline rush that leaves you breathless.” - Allison Brennan, New York Times Bestselling Author

“The pleasantly exciting discovery here is that Browne is a capable writer who crafts an entertaining police procedural with a dollop of the supernatural. Well, maybe more than a dollop, with a nicely worked-out storyline that takes itself seriously enough to be credible and more fun than you expect. Browne’s characters, dialogue and pacing are all spot-on and thriller ready….‘Kill Her Again’ is a prime slice of American Cheese. Hot, fun and a bit greasy, perfect served on the beach on your back porch.” -Rick Kleffel, The Agony Column, Bookotron.com

“Suspenseful and gripping from the word go, [KILL HER AGAIN] will grab your attention and keep you on tenterhooks until the very end.” –Shamilla Vaid, Tonight

“The deeply satisfying story [WHISPER IN THE DARK] moves at a furious pace, packed with unexpected and original clues and plot twists. “ STARRED REVIEW – Publishers Weekly.

“I simply cannot fault [WHISPER IN THE DARK] and that is a rarity as I like to give an even appraisal of all our books. It is well written with an effectively taut prose. The suspense is dutifully filled up to overload and with the more exquisite twist, that will leave you simmering with delight. The characters are well drawn and Blackburn (the cop) is utterly convincing as a male chauvinistic elephant of a man… (I swear if he got any more knocks, he’d be wishing he was dead). And the originality of the plotline is just superb. This is a stunning novel where you will hang upside down, round the twist and on the edge of your seat. Magnificent!” —thetruthaboutbooks.com

“This debut novel by a successful screenwriter is a fast-paced thriller that you will want to devour in one sitting. Edgy suspense mixed with a touch of the supernatural keeps pushing the reader forward. ‘Kiss Her Goodbye’ makes us hope that Browne is hard at work on his next novel. This is a writer whose name will soon be a household word.” —Bookfinds.com

“A cracking debut…This is a fast-paced action thriller that is as exciting as GM Ford and Michael Connelly… The action doesn’t let up for a second and keeps going right up until the final page. It isn’t easy to do this sort of fiction well but Browne succeeds in combining a tight plot with engaging characters and a tense finale that will delight all diehard crime fans.” —Kate Bradley, BCA

“Robert Gregory Browne is an outstanding pulp prose stylist…” —Telegraph UK

“Kiss Her Goodbye is part mystery, part soul journey and completely surprising. …Browne sketches out depth and breathes a hint of life into the enmity between these two determined men, both fighting for the people they love. What could have descended to a New Age caricature skims the surface of a very profound scrutiny of the heart, touching on the lengths to which love fuels desire and hope. …Browne’s tale rockets to warp speed after the first third of the book, ending with a surprising jolt.” —Authorlink

“Kiss Her Goodbye is a well-written thriller, with all that one has come to expect from the genre. Browne does bring a new wrinkle to things: when Donovan goes off a bridge and almost dies, he meets Gunderson in the after-life and they somehow form a bond that Gunderson controls. This device enables Browne to do some very interesting things in terms of plot, motivation, and tension-building.” —Crimespree

“All the elements of a terrific novel are here—a compelling, three-dimensional hero, a brilliant and evil villain, high stakes, a ticking clock, real emotion and Browne’s visceral writing style. Browne also does some fancy footwork in incorporating his twists—they twist about where you would expect them to in a thriller, but they twist in decidedly unexpected ways. It all comes together well to make for a strong, striking debut thriller.” —Mark Terry

“Kiss Her Goodbye delivers with nonstop pacing, breathless prose, and page-turning urgency. Provocative and edgy, this book is sure to be the thriller of the year and Robert Gregory Browne the next big thing in heart-stopping fiction.” —Kathy Mackel, author of The Hidden

“From rich characters to heart-pounding suspense, Kiss Her Goodbye explores not only the deadly terrain of murder but the nuances of the soul. It’s a first-rate novel that will glue you to your chair until you finish the last satisfying word.” —Gayle Lynds, author of The Last Spymaster

“Kiss Her Goodbye is a taut, absorbing page-turner. Robert Gregory Browne makes his mark with a compelling thriller filled with twists and surprises. A writer to watch!” —Carla Neggers, author of The Widow

“Provocative violence, a colorful Chicago background and a dollop of the supernatural lift Browne’s debut thriller… breathtaking pace.” —Publishers Weekly

“[A] cat-and-mouse game between two desperate men… a nerve-wracking race against time…” —KIRKUS

“The writing is wonderful. …Donovan is a strong man, tested to his limits. Gunderson is just as strong, a worthy opponent. Browne has the pacing down, the tensions down, all the twists and turns one expects from a good thriller.” —PJ Coldren, ReviewingtheEvidence.com

“[An] adrenalin pumping thriller” —Midwest Book Review

“Screenwriter Robert Gregory Browne knows one of the first rules of creating a compelling plot: The characters have to want something–and want it badly. … The plot takes some suspenseful and sinister turns, as Gunderson kidnaps Jessie and buries her alive, drawing Donovan into a tense race against time to rescue her. But what seems like an eye for an eye isn’t entirely so simple, and the novel’s early references to Chinese philosophy soon become central to increasingly mystical elements, including life beyond death and the transmigration of souls.” —Mystery Scene Magazine

Recommended Thriller. “ATF agent Jack Donovan is on the hunt for Alexander Gunderson, a ruthless, charismatic arms smuggler. Gunderson, who leads a rag-tag band of malcontents bent on changing the world, vows revenge when a bank robbery gone wrong puts his soul mate in a vegetative state. Provocative and gritty, this colorful story is set in Chicago.” —Tucson Citizen

“A classic ‘race against time’ thriller told with the originality of a very different perspective…” —Crimesquad.com

“Part-Thomas Harris, part-Dante’s “Inferno.” —Tampa Tribune
