Praise for The Bad Kitty Lounge

Private Detective Joe Kozmarski “is an engaging Everyman [and] Wiley’s Chicago is authentic. His writing is stylish, and he ranges from melancholic to howlingly funny.”

— Booklist Magazine

With a “twisting tangle of plot lines,” The Bad Kitty Lounge “keeps us guessing to the end.”

The Library Journal (Starred Review)

“In Wiley's strong second mystery to feature Chicago PI Joe Kozmarski, Joe has plenty of grit, and his style suits Chicago fine.”

Publishers Weekly

“This is a superb Chicago Noir.  The audience will enjoy this fabulous investigative thriller as the spins and twists keep the reader off kilter throughout.”

The Mystery Gazette / Genre Go Round

The Bad Kitty Lounge is one of “45 reasons to go on living” in 2010.
