"Sex and the City meets Agatha Christie! Jennifer Sturman's an exciting new voice in mystery fiction."
- Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries
and Queen of Babble

Praise for The Pact

"Sturman's debut is a rare delight, and her sharp, sassy writing is wonderfully addictive."
- Booklist

"Why is this debut so thoroughly enjoyable? Perhaps it's because Rachel is such a winning detective: she sifts through clues at the reader's pace and does so with wit and pluck. The novel's mise en scène - successful, attractive Ivy League graduates at a lakeside mansion – makes for escapist pleasure, and well-placed cliffhangers, a careful distribution of motives and unexpected twists promise readers light, satisfying suspense."
- Publishers Weekly

"This mystery is a fresh and terrific new addition to the chick lit genre. Most of the traditional chick lit elements are here – the heroine's love life, career and friendships – but the whodunit is an excellent and welcome twist. Debut novelist Sturman delivers great characters, a dash of humor and a mystery that keeps you interested – and guessing."
- Romantic Times (RT Award Nominee for “Best Chick Lit Novel” 2004)
