Praise for Lady or the Tiger:

★ “Herrman has created a rare kind of book: a twist-filled murder mystery dressed up in leather boots, spurs, and a cowboy hat. . . The writing is compelling and visceral, with a multitude of colorful, complex characters, including the ferocious, canny protagonist. For readers who enjoy a propulsive narrative, this is a special one indeed. —Booklist, starred review.

“Herrman’s sophisticated exploration of the impact of men’s abuse of power are chilling . . . but Belle’s individual strength and continued resistance prove inspirational. The nonlinear timeline enhances the larger-than-life vignettes that are reminiscent of tall tales, maintaining a quick pace and adding tension to each dramatic beat. . . Intense hardship and adventure compellingly intertwine in this Old West feminist journey.” —Kirkus
