Earlier reviews of Chad Taylor's writing:
• "Smart, original, surprising and just about as cool as a novel can get" Washington Post
• "Enigmatic noir" Publishers Weekly
• "Effortlessly cool" GQ
• "Accomplished noir... clear and uncluttered" Time Out
Chad Taylor's latest novel is Blue Hotel.
The New Zealand Listener named Blue Hotel as one of its Best Books of 2022: the "long-awaited return by Taylor is a dark and funny tale set in 1980s Auckland that veers from BDSM dungeons to corporate raider offices."
"Full of depth, striking characters, sparkling writing, and a rich sense of time and place" Craig Sisterson, Crimewatch
"Blue Hotel is darkest crime noir. It takes place in old fashioned newsrooms, questionable newsagencies, seedy bars, S&M clubs and cars. It's as New Zealand-as, but it's not." Karen Chisholm, AustCrimeFiction
