Críticas:
"NICEVILLE and THE HOMECOMING, by Carsten Stroud: crazy-good supernatural/crime/horror epic. Blew me away. Really one novel. You've never read anything like it. Faulkner crossed with Steve King."
--Stephen King "An addictive small-town terror symphony masquerading as a beach read." --Entertainment Weekly "Holds up against anything Hollywood can offer for summer entertainment. . . . Stroud works with the precision of a watchmaker." --Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Classic southern noir crossed with a bit of Dean Koontz. . . . Simply terrific." --The Globe and Mail (Canada) "A genre-bending, page-turning, suspenseful read that is impossible to put down or to forget." --Booklist "Balances suspense and humor. . . . Shows off [Stroud's] love for the American South and its difficult progress through history." --The Free Lance-Star "A fun, strange, thrilling ride. . . . The dialogue sings, the action [is] fueled by careful character development (and vice versa), and there is the un-simple pleasure of superb storytelling." --Bookgasm "A rich, realistic supernatural thriller." --Publishers Weekly
"The place where noir, thriller, and paranormal fiction intersect." --Kirkus Reviews "Stroud's tight plotting and colorful characters bounce between hard-boiled crime drama and suspenseful, creepy supernatural thriller. . . . The Homecoming is a breathless read with endless surprises and the solid writing of an author firmly in control of his craft." --Shelf Awareness Further praise for the Niceville series "[Stroud] offers surprises, shocks, moments of lyricism, explosions of humor and unrelenting suspense. . . Superior storytelling."--The Washington Post
"The last time I was so swiftly taken over by a work of fiction was probably when I read A Game of Thrones. Carsten Stroud's wonderful Niceville isn't really much like George R. R. Martin's fantasy novel, apart from being equally hard-boiled and engrossing, but it rockets around its deceptively staid Southern town, pulling bad guys and worse guys and long-ago misdeeds into a widening and unfolding tale about every kind of wickedness." --Peter Straub "Think Stephen King crossed with Mickey Spillane." --Open Letters Monthly

In Niceville, a pleasant Southern town where evil lurks just beneath the surface, two back-to-back airplane crashes set off a spellbinding chain reaction of murder, inadvertent kidnapping, and double-dealing.
Detective Nick Kavanaugh must balance his investigation into the accidents with family concerns and a long-buried mystery. He and his wife Kate, a family lawyer, have taken in Kate’s sister and her two children, escaping their abusive father Byron Deitz. The Kavanaughs are also caring for the orphaned Rainey Teague, who recently survived a strange kidnapping and has come back a very different child. Rainey was not the last person to vanish from a Niceville street; most recently, an administrator from Rainey’s school, and—even worse—Kate’s father, a local historian, have gone missing. Using her father’s files, Kate and Nick start to unearth their town’s bloodstained past, trying to discover the truth behind generations of disappearances. But a sinister someone—or something—stands in their way.
