The Lesbian Review – “Top 100 Lesbian Vacation Novels” – Full Article.Penman’s imaginative The Year of the Knife is a fun, fast-paced urban fantasy mystery with an engaging set of characters, most notably Agent Sully of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation. Sully’s investigation will drag her away from the comforts of home in New Amsterdam, the beautiful but useless hyacinth macaw that used to be her boss, and the loving arms of her undead girlfriend, in a thrilling race against time, demonic forces and a shadowy conspiracy that will do anything to keep its hold on power and ensure that Sully takes their secrets to her grave-as soon as possible. Superior Agent Sully of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation spends her time here–that is when she isn’t off beating up demons some place else in the colonies!–hanging out in her basement apartment in Brooklyn with her undead girlfriend, Marie solving cases at her office at the IBI on Staten Island or chasing suspects in the subways underneath the city! In the meantime, enjoy this map of the city of New Amsterdam. Penman obviously has, and he’ll be sharing his imaginative vision of 2015 New Amsterdam–with a hefty dose of magic, demons, and vamps thrown in–with the masses on 11.28.17 in his novel The Year of the Knife. Ever wonder what would have happened if the British had won the war in 1775? Well, G.D.
