—Taylor Adams, author of No Exit and Hairpin Bridge “Kate Quinn is not one to be daunted by complex storytelling. In The Diamond Eye, she takes aim at the colorful life of the most well-known sniper you’ve never heard of. Though most of us cannot relate to standing on the battlefield, Quinn weaves humanity and emotional depth through the narrative, giving the reader a target we can relate to: the human experience, rife with grief, loss, love, wit, anguish. She does this, in part, by posing a compelling dilemma in need of solving, allowing us insight into what Lady Death values most: loyalty. Even if it means concealing a dark secret or two . . .”
—Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary “Mila Pavlichenko is not a born killer, but a shy bookworm with a love of history who discovers she’s an excellent sharpshooter. Kate Quinn brings to life a little-known woman in history who took the world by storm and then quietly faded into the background. The Diamond Eye catapults the reader from one harrowing moment to the next in an edge-of-your-seat read laced with humor, friendship, love, and literature that will leave the memory of Lady Death alive and thriving in our hearts forever.”
—Eliza Knight, USA Today bestselling author of The Mayfair Bookshop “The Diamond Eye is quintessential Quinn—a tough-as-nails heroine, the highest of stakes, and a rip-roaring conclusion. Even as I turned the pages late into the night, I was also learning about Russia and the eastern front of World War II, and the surprising truths about being a sniper. A transporting, gripping read.”
—Kerri Maher, author of The Kennedy Debutante and The Paris Bookseller “Few authors are able to craft stories as immersive and compulsively readable as Kate Quinn’s, and her latest is no exception. The Diamond Eye is a sparkling new gem in Quinn’s already impressive bibliography. Quinn recaptures the Russian intrigue—the utter magic—of The Huntress in Mila’s story. The characters and setting are vibrant and compelling, and the reader can’t help but root for Quinn’s heroine from start to finish. A brilliant tale by a master storyteller.”
