Review

"Carter delivers, though the book is markedly different from her earlier novels. Yes, there's a mystery to solve ... But Carter is after larger narrative game here, linking the violent death to America's original sin of slavery, and a generations-spanning curse dooming women to act out the worst kind of revenge fantasies. The result is a fusion of detective fiction and horror that is impossible to look away from."
--The New York Times Book Review

"Beauty in the Blood begins in the last year of the Civil War, as blacks flee ruined plantations, murderous Confederates, and treacherous Unionists. It takes us to New York in the year 2000, where successful black women find their lives threatened with a violence that implicates them in America's harshest racial crimes. None of us is exempt from history's torments, and none of those torments is simple. This is a riveting and wise novel."
--Margo Jefferson, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Negroland and Constructing a Nervous System
