Customer Reviews

Kohler is a writer of chilling subtlety

Kohler's writing uncovers the darkest aspects of human nature through precise language and carefully placed detail. It's a shame reviewers for publications such as Kirkus don't have the patience to discover her. But if you are serious about writing and about literature, hunt down Kohler's work where-ever you can find it. Her first novel, The Perfect Place, is a stunning example of an unreliable narrator. And in The House On R. Street, she shows again that beneath the flawless manners of the upperclass there is an unfathomable capacity for corruption.
