    I'm Hooked!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2012*

Simply put, The Damage Done is the best mystery/thriller I've read in years.  Hilary Davidson's Lily Moore is a gutsy, quirky, captivating, and utterly believable amateur sleuth.  The heart of this mystery--travel writer Lily Moore's love for her drug addicted sister and her quest to find out what happened to her--never feels contrived or like it's just an excuse to play detective (which plagues so many lesser detective novels); it's 100% organic, a sibling rivalry pushed to unstable bounds, with all the appropriate tawdriness and depravity of the grittiest hardboiled noir.  And Davidson does it with such style!  Everything about this novel is pitch-perfect.  The supporting cast.  The locale.  The dialogue.  Exposition perfectly balanced with action.  I've read both in the Lily Moore series (Next One to Fall is also a gem), and I can't wait for the third.  In my humble writing opinion, there is nothing tougher than writing a compelling, convincing commercial potboiler.  Davidson has more than done that here; with Damage Done she has crafted a virtually flawless and brilliant mystery debut.

    A Spectacular Novel
  

*by C***H on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2010*

To say that THE DAMAGE DONE is a brilliant debut is both true and too faint of praise.  Were this Davidson's first book or her tenth, THE DAMAGE DONE would be one hell of an accomplishment.  What begins with a gripping premise deepens with every passing page, leaving you reading as fast as your eyes can manage to find out what happens next.  Featuring an impressive cast of characters -- each riveting in their own right -- and anchored by a protagonist that's equal parts bright, scrappy, and vulnerable, THE DAMAGE DONE is a thriller for folks bored by standard thrillers, one which never delves into imitation or pastiche.This is the kind of book you keep reading 'cause you need to.  The kind of book you can't help but fear will fall apart come the end, because the set-up's just too damn good.  But rather than falling apart, THE DAMAGE DONE ends beautifully, pummeling you with revelations of character and mystery both so quickly you can scarcely catch your breath before knocked sideways by another.This is the kind of book that plants your at your keyboard on a Saturday night, typing away on Amazon so folks'll know just how great it is.So what're you waiting for?  Do yourself a favor and buy this baby NOW.

    Start of a great relationship...
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2012*

I read about Davidson's second book, The Next One to Fall, and thought it sounded interesting so ordered the first in the series, The Damage Done. I am glad that I did. Lily Moore, a travel journalist, like Davidson, returns from Spain to New York City in search of her troubled drug addicted sister and the pages start turning, twisting, and turning. This is one of those books that you can and will want to read in one sitting, as the pace moves quickly and coherently. The character of Lily and her best friend Jesse are promising and believable personalities that are worth getting to know in future adventures. Next is Machu Picchu with Lily and Jesse and I am looking forward to archair travelling along. This is a fresh and interesting formula with the travel writing and adventure and I can't wait to see where Davidson takes us.
