--Hollywood Insider

“An imaginative parody...intriguing and tangible personalities lend this book weight....a good read.”
--East Hampton Star

"...A Death in the Hamptons is a tale of greed, murder and sexual intrigue in the tradition of Tom Wolfe and Dominick Dunne."--Southampton Press

"...Matt Bloom's story is a great warmup for beach season...Bloom has written a solid story with plenty of local color. He has a light touch that lets you enjoy the characters and even get to like them, right down to the shocking finish."--Waterbury Republican

"A Death in the Hamptons" is a disturbing book. Disturbing because by presenting a series of vignettes of the high rollers who summer in the Hamptons, our own skins are peeled away layer by layer like an onion to reveal our weaknesses..." --St. Simon's Island Islander
