Smart dialogue helps propel the tight plot." Publishers Weekly"Banks writes skillfully and with deep love for the Arizona desert. He knows the worlds of the desert women, men and kids who live under the radar of entitled society-and he writes that world without sentimentalism or judgment " Arizona Public Radio/NPR"The half-hilarious, half-somber Double Wide is so good it could bear at least one sequel. Maybe even a dozen." Mystery Scene Magazine"It's tough not to appreciate a madcap crime novel that incorporates drug smuggling, homicide, baseball, Shakespeare, and wayward body parts into its tumbling plot."
