These are some independent reviews of my books.
Review of What We Talk about When We Talk about Dumplings in the Literary Review of Canada
“In a wonderful essay titled “Ask No Questions about Samosas,” Angela Misri describes dumpling making in a Calgary household run by her strong-willed and contrary Indian mother —“a maharanee who hated to be questioned.” After recounting various lessons she learned growing up — about Indian food, Canadian food, and Western society — Misri leaves readers with mouth-watering instructions for samosas and pakoras.”
Globe and Mail review of The Detective and the Spy
“If Sherlock Holmes had a granddaughter, she’d definitely be a clever and devilishly curious woman like Portia Adams. That’s what Misri – who has written several essays on Holmes, as well as three other Adams books – believes and she’s convinced me.” – Read the full review here
Globe and Mail review of Trip of the Dead
In case you need a little humour with your thrills and chills, check out Trip of the Dead by Angela Misri (Dancing Cat Books, 9-12), the hilarious sequel to her comical zombie thriller, Pickles vs. The Zombies. Trip, the intrepid raccoon hero of her earlier book, with a little help from his feline friend, Ginger, and Emmy the Wonder-Hamster, leaves his pet humans and sets off on a quest to see if rumours that raccoons are being held hostage in a zombie-free encampment are true.” – Read the full review here
CM magazine review of Pickles vs the Zombies
5 STARS! “Pickles vs. the Zombies is a fun read that takes a typical zombie narrative but tells it from the perspective of the pets left behind.” – Read the full review here
Quill & Quire review of Pickles vs the Zombies
“An exciting, disbelief-suspending, animal-led narrative with unusual twists can be difficult to pull off, but Misri succeeds with a story that is entertaining from start to finish.” – Read the full review here
Kirkus review of Pickles vs the Zombies
“Misri artfully leaves gorier details to the imagination, so readers who really don’t thrill to blood and guts can focus on the adventure rather than the body parts. A rousing odyssey.” – Read the full review here
