Media Reviews

Tucker is a riveting storyteller whose book brims with a cathartic intelligence about the dark side of families and how we survive. -- People
Engrossing and suspenseful, Tucker's remarkable fourth novel unveils the motives behind the curious behavior and superfluous lies of unusually close-knit fraternal twins...[a] satisfying, imminently readable novel. -- Publishers Weekly
A compulsively readable story...nothing is as it appears in this suspenseful, well-crafted look at truth and betrayal...a haunting, harrowing story. -- Library Journal
A compelling must-read novel that is part mystery, part family drama, and wholly satisfying. -- Deseret News
Tucker excels at telling unexpected stories. In The Promised World , she hands the reader a solid marriage that is torn by tragedy...when the story's underlying turns are revealed, and everything comes together, it makes terrific sense. -- The Denver Post
A masterfully told story that delves deep into the human psyche and examines the frailty of the human mind after a tragedy and the powerful, lifelong impact of childhood memories. -- Booklist
The Promised World is a book that will appeal both to readers of literary fiction and those who enjoy psychological suspense. It's one of the standout novels of the year. -- The Chicago Sun-Times
