The Detour was recently released in an Australia edition by Murdoch Books with the title The Art Lover, and this week, Southern Hemisphere reviewers had this to say:
Courier Mail, Brisbane– “VERDICT: Elegant, Haunting, Compelling.”
Sydney Morning Herald, Sydney– ”With great care and skill, Romano-Lax teases out the human complexities, exploring the differing values, desires and fears of the various characters while creating, through Vogler’s cautious and evasive voice, an atmosphere of chilling menace and threat.”
Launceton Examiner, Tasmania: “A skillful blend of art history and contrasting personalities. A very rewarding read.”
