Praise for the Deep Purple Cover
“Joel W. Barrows’ Deep Purple Cover has flavors of mystery and dark motives with fragrant twists. Medium-bodied and knowledgeable of the subject matter, the aroma of the novel is robust in its procedural qualities with just a hint of thriller. Interesting characters also make it perfect for the bookshelf where it will pair nicely with a Baldacci, a Sandford or a Coben. Deep Purple Cover is a truly notable vintage.” -Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire Series
