Second Skin Reviews

Second Skin has a powerful literary dimension. Vivid portraits of Jacksonville neighborhoods, individual places of residence and work, and landscapes root the novel firmly in the reader's imagination. A collection of well-drawn minor characters, notably the 60-something prostitute named Felicity and the Gullah leader named Papa Crowe, enrich the narrative tremendously. Mr. Wiley's portrait of Crowe is a small masterpiece, its subject waiting endlessly for the moment to right the disgrace and betrayal of his community. Do I like, admire and even cherish this book? Indeed I do. It is a powerful follow-up to last year's Blue Avenue * Fort Meyers Florida Weekly *
Satisfyingly doom-and-gloomy * Kirkus Reviews *
A superbly crafted and well-paced crime story... Highly recommended for lovers of dark crime stories * Florida Times Union *
