"A sprawling, gonzo hide-and-seek narrative that will appeal to fans of Breaking Bad." — Quill & Quire
"Great dialogue, a good story and some memorable individuals all contribute to making MARRY, BANG, KILL a winner in my book." — Miramichi Reader
"A rogues' gallery of small-time crooks that would make Elmore Leonard and the Coen Brothers proud. Battershill mixes sardonic wit and kinetic action with a razor-sharp eye for the details of west coast life. Stylish and smart." — Sam Wiebe
"A comic noir with a particular west coast Canuck vibe: loose, absurd, sweet. There's abundant skill here, and plenty of laughs, but also the pleasure of reading a writer finding a space of his very own." — Andrew Pyper
"MARRY, BANG, KILL is the super fun, expertly crafted, west coast genre-bending crime thriller I didn't even know I needed, and now can't stop talking about." — Amy Jones
"Combine the plot from a Richard Stark 'Parker' novel with the humour of early Charles Portis and you'll come close to the shenanigans in MARRY, BANG, KILL. My advice? Just shut up and read this book." — Michael Winter
