The News & Observer (Raleigh, North Carolina)
"...'Magic City' evolves in its torrid final pages into a provocative and memorable saga. It's like "Chinatown" with black beans and rice."

From Publishers Weekly
“Fast, entertaining… Hall offers lively characters, livelier dialogue and an excellent depiction of contemporary south Florida.”

Booklist (Starred Review)
“Another outstanding chapter in one of the genre’s most consistently first-rate series.”

Library Journal (Starred Review)
“…a gripping tale of dirty politics, love gone wrong, murder for hire, and international intrigue that is impossible to put down. Highly recommended.”

The New York Sun
"From an opening scene that charges out of the box like a greyhound on amphetamines, to the climactic denouement that will leave the reader as limp as two-month old kale, the pace of "Magic City" never slows."

Baltimore Sun
"Hall's action scenes are starkly poetic..."

Oline Cogdill, Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
"Hall has delivered the quintessential South Florida novel in Magic City. "

Chauncey Mabe, Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
