Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of the Month, January 2014: If someone were to tell you that The Kept involved cross dressing and serial murder, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled on a new contemporary thriller. But James Scott’s debut, while thrilling, is set in rural upstate New York c: 1900. It tells the story of a mother and son who set off for a rough, rural town in search of the killers who murdered their family; there, they make some discoveries, all right--not just about the criminals, but also about their own damaged selves. This debut is not for the faint of heart--look for reviews that compare it to the work of Cormac (The Road) McCarthy. But it will grab you from the first line--“Elspeth Howell was a sinner”--and haunt you well past the discovery that Elspeth’s sins are both lesser and greater than you first thought. This is one profound and disturbing book from a writer to watch. --Sara Nelson

Review
"Winter and discontent... Scott is the master of mood... Haunting'" New York Times Book Review "A classically written crime novel that is also an atmospheric evocation of a bygone era." The Sunday Times "Reads with the stark clarity of a Johnny Cash song" Washington Post "Feels like the shell of a Cormac McCarthy novel filled with the intricate yearning and familial strife of a Lorca play. A gripping combination I don't think we're likely to find anywhere else." The Rumpus "Darkly beautiful... The Kept is a rare blend of brutality and empathy, emotion and close observation. I thought at times of Cormac McCarthy's work and of the novels of David Vann. At other times it brought to mind Stef Penney's The Tenderness Of Wolves and Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain. But there's something wonderfully distinctive about The Kept... A literary page-turner of the highest calibre by a writer of serious talent." -- Jonathan Lee, author of JOY
