Below are some of the wonderful reviews it has received.
“The novel is a master class on income equality on a psychological, emotional and tangible level, but it’s never reduced to pedagogy or truth-telling. Instead, Powers focuses on the intertwined destinies of these fascinating characters, delivering a first-rate financial thriller in the process.”
—BestThrillers (full review below)

From Publishers Weekly/BookLife:
“The text is incredibly detailed, covering each character’s thoughts, actions, and motives in remarkable depth…The focus on character motivation elevates this beyond a typical thriller — Manny and Rich are well-crafted and original characters. Despite the crime-heavy subject matter, this is a character-driven story, and Powers does a successful job of slowly developing each man’s reasoning, desires, and limitations.”
— BookLife
“…In the end, I read The Attendant in one sitting with no breaks. I simply could not stop turning the pages!”
—Elizabeth Gauffreau, Author: Telling Sonny
“If Tom Wolfe and David Mamet had a baby, it would be The Attendant – a witty, scathing thriller about class, love and what most of us would do for a million dollars.”
—Joan Sauers, Author: Forgetiquette: What to do when someone you love begins to forget.

Posted by SusanR | April 22, 2022, 5:33 pmVery, Susan…and one review filled me with utter joy because it completely “got” what the novel is about on every level. i am referring to the Best Thrillers review, “The novel is a master class on income equality on a psychological, emotional and tangible level, but it’s never reduced to pedagogy or truth-telling. Instead, Powers focuses on the intertwined destinies of these fascinating characters, delivering a first-rate financial thriller in the process.” As a writer yourself, you understand what it means to have your work be completely understood. Rapture. Thanks, stay well, and continue…

Posted by barkinginthedark | April 24, 2022, 2:49 pmYes, I’m on the first draft of a novel with the working title The Road from the Poor Farm. It’s set in 1968 at the last poor farm in Vermont.

Posted by Liz Gauffreau | April 24, 2022, 9:25 pmWow, Liz, this sounds very worthwhile. As I read about it, these farms were all that was between people sleeping on the street or in a bed beneath a roof. Keep at it – there’s a lot of meat on this bone. It can be an important piece of work. Stay well, and continue…

Posted by barkinginthedark | April 25, 2022, 1:25 pmThank you for the encouragement, Tony. I found a photograph project from the 1930s featuring farmers and their families. So many of them lived in grinding poverty.

Posted by Liz Gauffreau | April 25, 2022, 6:20 pmLiz, it seems that this “grinding poverty” has always been with us – and maybe always will be. What is wrong with us? Perhaps naked greed is the great flaw in the “human condition.” Write on and continue…
