PRAISE FOR CAUGHT "Moore combines the propulsive storytelling of a beach-book thriller with the skilled use of language and penetrating insights of literary fiction. She pulls it off seamlessly, creating a vivid, compulsively readable tale that will have you searching out the Newfoundlander's previous works--including 2005's Giller Prize- nominated Alligator and 2010's February, which won the "Canada Reads" competition--if you aren't already familiar with them."-- Penthouse "Propulsive, adrenalin-drenched...[infused with] searingly fresh language and sharply drawn characters... This foray into so-called genre fiction by an exemplar of so-called literary fiction sacrifices nothing in terms of style." --Leah Hager Cohen, The Globe and Mail "Outsanding . . . Surprising and superb . . . A literary adventure story . . . Gripping, detailed, and wholly convincing . . . A supremely human book . . . combining the complexity of the best literary fiction with the page-turning compulsive readability of a thriller."-- National Post "In the creation of David Slaney, Lisa Moore brings us an unforgettable character, embodying the exuberance and energy of misspent youth. Caught is a propulsive and harrowing read."--Patrick deWitt, author of The Sisters Brothers "Exhilarating... a memorably oddball and alluring novel that's simultaneously breezy, taut, funny, and insightful." -- The Vancouver Sun "A pleasure to read... Moore's mastery of language and image...sets her apart." - Quill and Quire "Witty, retrospective, eloquent and exciting."-- Chatelaine "[Lisa Moore's] written a new kind of legend for a new Newfoundland."-- Reader's Digest "This is an author who grips you with her impeccable use of language. The novel walks a great line between paperback levity and psychological intelligence--exactly what you want in a summer read."-- Maclean's "Even we, as readers, will be caught by the timbre and skill of Moore's storytelling and her careful sculpting of characters."-- Chronicle Herald "[T]his novel that is rife with realness, and beauty, and tension; so much it hurts, in the best possible way."-- Newfoundland Quarterly "As trippy, mellow, and revelatory as Hearn's weed, Caught takes pleasure from rewriting crime formulas and gives pleasure in doing so."-- The Vancouver Sun "Lisa Moore's new book is a beautiful piece of writing..." -- Winnipeg Free Press "Exhilarating... a memorably oddball and alluring novel that's simultaneously breezy, taut, funny, and insightful." -- The Vancouver Sun "A pleasure to read...
