Industry Reviews
"Mitchard's airtight craft is evident in how well 'The Most Wanted' works..."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Georgia Jones-Davis (05/17/1998)
"Part thriller and part romance, [it] tries to keep quite a few narrative balls in the air, juggling jailhouse love, teen pregnancy, escaped convicts, death row lawyers, biological clocks, and the whole capricious character of the lone star state of Texas....A big, readable novel, but also one neither surprising nor penetrating enough to be especially memorable."
