Kellerman has a gift for creating compelling characters as well as for crafting an ingenious plot that grabs the reader and refuses to let go.

Great read.
- People Magazine
A suspense story has to take over your mind, leaving you disoriented (and feeling a little foolish) when you look up at the end. Jesse Kellerman makes this act of self-hypnosis easy... The kind of writer who collects voices the way beachcombers pick up buckets of shells... Listen to that voice long enough and it becomes as mesmerizing as the radiant horrors of Victor's psychotically deranged art.
- The New York Times Book Review
A masterful plot and dead-on pacing.
- Entertainment Weekly
Brilliant... Kellerman's three stand-alone novels have been different; the only template he has followed has been quality novels expertly executed. The Genius fits well into Kellerman's standards.
- Florida Sun-Sentinel
This deftly plotted novel rivets the reader. It's a mystery, but like the best crime fiction, it is much more... [Kellerman] has a playwright's gift for creating fully-fleshed, complex characters with distinctive voices. A must-buy.
