See my review of The Poet.

I cannot believe it! I read the first few words of the first chapter and did not quit until I read the last word of the last chapter. Cavanagh is an absolute top-flight writer and got every detail correct. Usually one can spot a goof here or there but not in this case I’ve probably read over 900 books in the past 10 years and this one held me spellbound from first word to last. Very well constructed, tight writing and overall engrossing.
