"Aiken’s slow-burning crime drama—part of the author’s Trowbridge Vermont series—is wrought with a careful precision that makes every mundane occurrence somehow feel foreboding....All the details feel important, as though they should be noted and categorized for later reference.... Themes of perception and fraud are deeply interwoven throughout the quietly unspooling yarn....[A]nd sure enough, all those painstakingly parsed breadcrumbs pay off with a completely satisfying twist ending. A smart and insightful little mystery that leaves a big impact." — Kirkus

"What I'm enjoying about [Stolen Mountain] so much is the small town flavor and all the familiar nods to local places and peoples and happenings, but there is a very intriguing plot in the background that is clearly fiction. Think big money coming into Vermont, there's the ski resort, the local police, there's fraud, all these interesting characters. It's really fun." — Lisa Sullivan, owner of Bartleby’s Books in Wilmington, VT. Vermont Edition, Vermont Public Radio
