“Suthammanont unspools [the mystery] with gorgeous precision. The heart of Hollow Spaces lies in the way children repeat their parents’ mistakes—and the not-so-casual racism in privileged spaces.” —Sarah Weinman, The New York Times Book Review
“A delicate and devastating portrait of the limits of the American dream, deeply resonant in today’s landscape.” —Molly Odintz, CrimeReads
“…a layered, gorgeously written novel about the limits of courtroom justice and family duty. … Hollow Spaces is a masterful piece of fiction.” —Lori Rader-Day, award-winning author of The Death of Us
“An intriguing […] combination of sleuthing and character study from a talented writer. Come for the murder mystery, stay for the lyrical passages on love and loss.”—Kirkus Reviews
