Invisible City gets a starred review from Publisher's Weekly

I am thrilled to report that Publisher's Weekly gave "Invisible City" a starred review this week!

"Dahl’s convincing dialogue and perfect pacing make for a real page-turner. And her storytelling skills illuminate the intriguing worlds of the tabloid press, Hasidism, the NYPD, and Brooklyn’s 20-somethings—as well as the fragile boundaries of family, religion, and life itself."
