Kirkus Reviews has bestowed its highest recommendation, “GET IT,” upon Noah Christopher’s latest novel The Confessor. The review praises the author for “cannily upending readers’ expectations” in a genre that seldom surprises.

Set against the backdrop of Los Angeles, the psychological thriller follows Detective Logan Hollister as he investigates a killer who leaves written confessions. The narrative forces readers to confront their own moral judgments and questions about justice.

Christopher submitted The Confessor through Kirkus Reviews’ Indie program, which provides an independent assessment that can be positive, negative, or neutral.
