See some of the reviews my books have received since Requiem for a Killer was first published in October of 2011. 

01

Veja Magazine

“A fan of classic detectives such as Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, Paulo Levy, in his first police novel (Requiem for a Killer), has done justice to these great models.”

02

Diário da Manhã - Goiania

 

“In every scene, an air of suspense. This is the feeling that reading a police novel often brings, and is what makes this genre a reader favorite, with new revelations being unveiled chapter by chapter. This is the case in Requiem for a Killer.”

Diário do Comércio - São Paulo

“Once again, as he did in Requiem for a Killer, Levy has proven he’s a master of the police genre, able to create top-level entertainment.”

 

“In Death at the Book Festival Levy shows all his talent as a world class writer of police novels.” 

 

Books in Review - Ralph Peter
​

 

​“In his first novel Paulo Levy gives life to Rio de Janeiro Inspector Joaquim Dornelas, who lives a perfectly normal life with his personal anxieties and emotional crises. Nothing out of the usual until one morning on the way to the precinct, which he insists on doing on foot, he comes face to face with a corpse that will become a headline case. Demonstrating a fluid style, everything points to this book being the first of a long and worthy series. Holds the reader’s attention to the very end.”

Jornal da Paraíba

"A noir novel made in Brazil"

06

Z Magazine
​
​“Suspense novels are a genre that’s already consolidated in the local publishing market. Paulo Levy’s debut as a novelist is notable for being a mixture of thriller and drama in a more human style, with a flavor that has been missing in the Brazilian market.”
