Her novels have been nominated for such prestigious awards as the Agatha, Anthony, Macavity and the Lefty; she is a three-time nominee for the Lefty Award for her humor.

“There’s a funky rhythm to Route 66—that loopy, swoopy highway connecting the past to the present—and Kris Neri totally gets it. She also understands the passion of the folks who travel the Mother Road and captures it in vivid, funny prose.”
~ Roger Naylor, author of Arizona Kicks on Route 66
“There’s a reason why Kris Neri is a three-time finalist for the Lefty Award – her books are outrageously funny. She’s the Carl Hiaasen of the desert. This 4th Tracy Eaton Mystery is a zany trip down Route 66 with characters as bizarre and entertaining as the kitch the Mother Road is famous for. Neri is a master plotter, weaving together the Eaton family history and Route 66 lore into a murder that will have you guessing to the last page but hoping you don’t get there because you don’t want it to end. Revenge on Route 66 busted my guffaw meter.”
~ J. Michael Orenduff, author of The Pot Thief Who Studied D. H. Lawrence
