Her descriptions of setting, character and situation all combine to make Maloney's Law an unforgettable read." [From a review at Well Read Reviews]"Maloney's Law by Anne Brooke is a gay romance and mystery. It's also a dark, deep and poetic gay romance and mystery. I confess I love novels written in the first person and present tense, but I also know it's quite difficult to write them well. But not, apparently, for Brooke. Her Maloney's Law is exceptionally well-written." [From a review at Rainbow Reviews]"This book grabbed me from the first page and held me until the very last, when I closed it, sniffling and crying. Readers, this is good stuff. But a romance it's not, though it's about love in all its forms, painful and beautiful. It's a hell of a trip ... It's a story about loss, love, atonement and hope. It made me cry a number of times, but it leaves you with a sense of going forward." [From a review at Outlaw Reviews]
