"This may be Dolan's first novel, but he knows how to capture you early and keep your attention until the last page. To call Bad Things Happen a murder mystery is accurate, but it doesn't do justice to the other mysteries that haunt it's pages, including uncovering the true identity of one of its main characters. All of this is wrapped in a story propelled by exquisitely written dialogue."
--Rona Brinlee, The Bookmark
"The man who calls himself David Loogan is an editor, not a detective. But on the day his boss calls to ask a favor...to help him bury a dead body...Loogan's analytical mind turns to a new task: figuring out the truth behind the stranger's demise. The situation is about to quadruple in complexity, as the murders continue. With a lightly wry touch, Dolan has written a splendid debut in a style all his own. I loved it!"
--Jennie Turner-Collins, Joseph Beth Booksellers
