What the critics say about Bad August:
"...one of the two best first novels (of the year)... Joe Noonan is a gem... characters you'll want to meet again -- and soon. Hearn's writing is effortless, and although it may have been a bad August for Joe Noonan, his story is a delight for a reader in any month.
Robert J. Randisi, for The Orlando Sentinel
"...an engaging private eye caper... The slimy horror behind the missing-person case is leavened by Noonan's comical barroom tussle with a third-rate mobster and by the wonderful New York City ambience. The engrossing Ross Macdonald-like plot and the believable characters make this (Bad August) a one-sitting read."
Booklist
"...more idiosyncratic characters than even a juggler can shake a stick at.... Compelling."
Charles Willeford, author of Miami Blues, reviewing for The Miami Herald.
"Private eye Joe Noonan fancies himself a modern-day Sam Spade... Hearn has managed to capture the essence of the hard-boiled mystery novel."
Publisher's Weekly
"Plainly appealing hard-boiled debut... leanly streetwise, likeably unforced."
Kirkus Reviews
"New York P.I. Joe Noonan is one of the great characters, and sadly, there are only two adventures."
Gary Warren Niebuhr in P.I. Entertainment Service, a catalogue of Private Eye fiction
Daniel Hearn's Bad August and Black Light are both Highly Recommended in The Essential Mystery Lists: The Private Eye Novel: 100 Classic and Highly Recommended Titles by Gary Warren Niebuhr
