"An engrossing historical novel. ... The Butcher on Colfax gives readers a 'you are there' feel for events—from the economic Panic of 1893 to the Spanish flu pandemic—and for the daily lives of those swept up in them. ... Amusing period slang and snappy dialogue will appeal to a general audience. ... An enlightening and enjoyable book." —BlueInk Review"The Butcher of Colfax is a wonderfully entertaining as well as a richly rewarding read. ... The four principal characters are all beautifully drawn and each of them is unique. I was drawn most to the female characters Alice and Maggie who, despite all the tragedies that had beset them in their immigrant journey, were strong, resourceful, resolute, and perhaps most of all, incredibly compassionate." — Grant Leishman, Reader's Favorite"The novel has strong feminist themes." — Kate Robinson, U.S. Review of Books"Great historical research and attention to detail ... I was immediately swept away into the vivid storytelling. ... To top it all off, the dialogue for these interesting and well-rounded characters was brilliant, offering authentic-sounding historical inflections and language, but penned in a way that is accessible and totally relatable to modern audiences too." — K.C. Finn, Reader's Favorite"Historical fiction fans have much to enjoy in this authentic early 20thcentury saga about women finding a way." — Independent Book Review"Tierney's talent as a storyteller and as a wordsmith shines through in a highly entertaining tale. I recommend this book to lovers of good historical fiction and drama." — Lorraine Cobcroft, Reader's Favorite
