—Patricia Gibney, USA Today best-selling author of the Detective Lottie Parker novels

“With deft prose and an insider’s knowledge of the legal and political workings in NY, Michele Weinstat Miller has layered a compelling multi-generational family drama within a taut, suspenseful thriller that keeps the reader turning pages from beginning to twist-laden end.”

“A must-read thriller with lots of intrigue and an amazing cast of heroines and villains!”

—Richard Gibney, Yeah! Magazine

“A suicide bomb in the New York subway sets off a chain of events that include murder and corruption in Gone by Morning, the new novel from Michele Weinstat Miller. This is Weinstat Miller’s first novel since 2019’s Widows-in-Law, a book so difficult to put down that I spent two days walking around with one eye on the Kindle and one on my feet. As with its predecessor, Gone by Morning demonstrates Miller’s particular talent for creating characters you can immediately root for and placing them in situations that are both believable and enthralling. An ideal read for a time when we are all in need of distraction, Gone by Morning is that rare type of thriller, intelligent and yet edge-of-the-seat suspenseful.”

—Safie Maken Finlay, author of The Galian Spear

“Wow! Exciting plot right from the jump with many well-earned twists along the way. Great characters and villains you will love to hate. Crazy about the primary protagonist former madam and badass Kathleen and the rest of the women who kick serious butt in this action-filled thriller. Great and satisfying ending! Brava!”

—Efrem Seeger, screenwriter of The Fresh Prince of BelAir, Queer as Folk
