The Boron Heist reviews “The Delicate Art of Death”

Cody Ward of The Boron Heist recently gave his thoughts on my latest thriller, “The Delicate Art of Death!” I would like to take this moment to thank them for an incredible and incredibly insightful review of the book! I really appreciate it! Read it at the link below. 

“I originally read this novel alongside other paranoid political thrillers like Jeff VanderMeer’s Hummingbird Salamander and Cormac McCarthy’s newest novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris. While McGinnis’s work is more standard political action thriller fare that has less to say about ecology and ontology, it is nonetheless a production that mirrors concerns of major authors in our contemporary moment: principally in how the pursuit of truth queers our own positionality in regards to the world. Like Jane Doe and Alicia Western in the aforementioned works, respectively, Stacy Martinez’s pursuit of the truth paints a target on her back and attunes her to the traces of violence and disorder that abound, even in a rural Kansas town like her sister’s.”
