These are the web pages of the Jacqueline Carey who writes literary fiction. She is the winner of a Guggenheim fellowship. She is not the fantasy writer or the cordmaker, although she admires their names.
Rarely does a novel come along with so much ebullient wit, such ethical clarity, and so many beautiful flowers. Jacqueline Carey takes on white-collar crime, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and the nagging question of forsythias with equal fascination and agility. IT'S A CRIME is satirical, lyrical, full of heart, and a joy to read. - Cathleen Schine If Gatsy and Nancy Drew had a baby, its take on Twenty-First Century American corruption and denial might be as trenchant as Jacqueline Carey’s but I doubt it. - Roy Blount, Jr. |
The Boston Globe says:
This journey down the rabbit hole is not your mother's crime fiction, but in the shadow of Wall Street's current upheavals, it's oddly not that farfetched. 
The Chicago Tribune says: "It's a Crime" is a sharp and funny commentary on the times we live in, and on the high cost of self-absorption. |
