review: Editorial Reviews Review "Bad Blood is a story about the different worlds coexisting in that isolated piece of the New Hampshire mountains, and how easily that coexistence can twist into conflict or disaster. It also reminds us that there's more to every story than meets the eye."-- "Foster's Daily Democrat" "In this riveting true crime tale ...Characters are not just colorful but complete...As daunting facts come to light, the townspeople form two opposing camps--those for Floyd and those against--making it all but impossible for them to discern anything important from the shooting. Focusing the testimony of witnesses, loved ones and officials, Sherman provides that missing sense of perspective with skill."-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" "Sherman's telling of the McKay-Kenney story is fluid, crisp and accurate."-- "Nashua Telegraph" Bad Blood is a story about the different worlds coexisting in that isolated piece of the New Hampshire mountains, and how easily that coexistence can twist into conflict or disaster.

Publishers Weekly (starred review) Review “A first-rate story that simply demands to be read, the pacing is turbo-charged, the plot is an emotional roller-coaster ride, the writing is page-turning crisp, ranking up there with the best of Joseph Wambaugh. Bad Blood is that good a book.” (Lorenzo Carcaterra, author of Sleepers and Chasers) “Bad Blood unflinchingly dares to take readers inside the seething heart of a divided community. Author Casey Sherman is the perfect guide for this story, as he presents a devastating account by deftly revealing the truth as he peels away layer after layer of assumption and presumption. Shocking, disturbing, but ultimately enlightening.” (Gregg Olsen, New York Times bestselling author) About the Author CASEY SHERMAN is a Boston-based journalist and the author of A Rose for Mary: The Hunt for the Real Boston Strangler, Black Irish, and Black Dragon.
