Pre-Pub Critiques for Lilacs | Scene of the Crime

Lilacs Out of the Useless Land, popping out later this month, is already garnering robust evaluations earlier than publication. Right here is one from Readers’ Favourite, by Jamie Michele, who gave the novel 5 stars:

“Lilacs Out of the Useless Land is a incredible historic thriller and J. Sydney Jones does an distinctive job of giving readers a contemporary new story in WWII fiction. The characters are absolutely fleshed-out and exceptionally well-developed, particularly Frieda, whose braveness is matched solely by the burden of her sacrifices. I really like tales of resistance and Jones does a exceptional job of describing worry that’s palpable whereas sustaining a clear-eyed deal with the hazard of lively opposition. The pacing is forward-moving and regular with actually detailed escape sequences and an genuine sense of urgency. The clock is ticking and, as readers, we will all really feel it. Removed from the same old cat-and-mouse pursuit, I discovered the alternating factors of view and the power to know Mauter, in addition to many others, introduced a lot extra depth to the narrative. Nicely written, thrilling, and really extremely advisable.”
