Time Out Chicago
"The stakes feel dangerously real in Long Way Go Down [...] Dohrn creates fully formed characters and sustains powerful tension between them as alliances shift depending on the moment."
Chicago Tribune
"Beautifully plotted [...] glitters with brilliant and amusing detail [...] too thoughtful a lay to be praised merely for its thrills and suspense. Yet it's a fun ride."
