Staff Reviews
"A delightfully dark tale about a food critic who also happens to be an insatiable psychotic murderer (think American Psycho but with feminist flavor). Summers brilliantly uses food metaphors to fill in the gruesome and gory details. The cornucopia of gallows humor, wit, and sarcasm make this twisted story palatable."--Reviewed by Cristina

“A surprising novel that will lure you in with its delicious writing and leave you hungry (in more ways than one). Food critic Dorothy Daniels wants good food and good sex, and she will go to whatever lengths she needs in order to get them. At once a critique of the food industry and a criminal’s account, A Certain Hunger is a stunning feminist page-turner. With its devious protagonist and delectable prose, you will devour this novel.”
