A totally engrossing read...Hilarious in spots... I hope there's going to be another soon.
--Meg Chittenden, author of Dying to Sing

A roller coaster ride that leaves you wanting to get back on line to ride again and again.
--Donn Jehs, THE BOOK REPORT, America Online

Wonderfully endearing warped senses of humor.
Bookpage Su, THE BOOKPAGES RECOMMEND, America Online

An exceptionally fine first novel.
--Dale Furutani Flanagan, author of Death in Little Tokyo

The archetype of the amateur detective is taken to a new level of wit...a highly impressive first novel of rare quality... Snyder certainly shows control, deftness, diversity, and a wealth of talent in this first effort.
--Mystery Scene

An entertaining and notable first novel that really sparkles... crisp, cryptic, and humorously cynical...
--Small Press Magazine

Fast and fun...
--The Armchair Detective

First-time novelist Keith Snyder sets up what may become a period classic, as many themes from the 90s (serial killers & stalkers, cyberspace, coffeehouses, broken relationships, government coverups and organized crime, and even Generation X ennui) intermix in a nearly-noir presentation of life in Pasadena.
--Terrance Lewis, Mystery-L

Stunning ... Snyder's dialogue virtually scintillates with quick and mordant wit. This thriller is a "must read."
--Stephanie Fletcher, author of E-MAIL

A delicious blend of wit, humor, and action that intrigues and tantalizes even as it entertains. Very highly recommended read!
--Harriet Klausner, Mystery-L

A brilliantly unique and mesmerizing mystery! Its witty use of modern premise and humor make it one of those books that you don't want to put down until the very last page is read.
--Scott R. Garrigus, Recording magazine

Show Control is Southern California's answer to La Boheme, only far more amusing.
--William X. Kienzle, author of The Rosary Murders

FOUR STARS! ...brilliant and complicated...
--Peg Lynch, Affaire de Coeur

If Gibson is the Gibson of cyberlit, then Snyder is the Fender.
-- Buck Dharma, Blue Oyster Cult
