“Weizmann’s music bona fides — he was a punk rock columnist and ghostwrote Dee Dee Ramone’s memoir — inform the novel’s tone and purpose, but it’s equally clear how steeped he is in the styles of detective fiction past and present. Adam’s and Annie’s relationships to each other, themselves and especially their music thrum with authentic emotion. This is a story of murder, but also of vivid life.” — Sarah Weinman, The New York Times

“Each person Zantz meets, and every interview he conducts, is a lovingly rendered character sketch. The more damaged the characters, the more Weizmann seems to empathise with them. He has created a portrait of Southern California and the Pacific Coast Highway that rivals the best work of Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald.” — Steven Powell, author of Love Me Fierce in Danger: The Life of James Ellroy

“A moving neonoir cruise through Los Angeles…In hard-boiled language with an added layer of humor and psychological insight, Weizmann tells a tale reliant on the thrill, and pathos, of popular music… At turns thrilling and poignant, this is fine, thoughtful entertainment.” — Kirkus, STARRED review

"The Last Songbird is rock noir at its best.  Daniel Weizmann's L.A. is half Warren Zevon and half Raymond Chandler. Bravo.” — Two-time Edgar Award winner and NY Times best-selling author T. Jefferson Parker

“Weizmann seamlessly weaves vibrant L.A. music industry personalities into the suspenseful plot. This tense whodunit deserves a sequel.” — Publishers Weekly

“Props to Daniel Weizmann for respecting older women as artists and for his clear dedication to writing about music in an evocative and intelligent manner.” — CrimeReads

Weizmann skillfully crafts a gritty, unstoppable detective thriller rife with sleaze and sea foam and broken dreams set against a crumbling LA backdrop. It’s Sunset Boulevard meets Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.” — Katie Tallo, author of Dark August

“A sharp, memorable debut.” – Alex Segura, Anthony Award-winning author of Secret Identity

“Propulsive and pitch perfect. A stunning debut.” Joan Leegant, author of An Hour in Paradise

“This book is funny, poetic, gripping, and beautifully tackles themes of creativity, fame and family.” Francesca Lia Block, author of Dangerous Angels: the Weetzie Bat Books
