This is a gritty, stylishly written novel. The tale has a Boardwalk Empire feel, and the story itself, which finds Jack searching for a killer and accidentally finding out some things about himself, is ... dramatic and occasionally moving. Its the authors first novel, but readers will hope it isnt his last. - Booklist May 2013 This is a writer to watch. -- Globe and Mail, May 18, 2013 Windsor may look and feel a bit more like HBO's Boardwalk Empire after reading Riverside Drive, the latest release from Michael Januska. -- The Drive Magazine, June 2013 The book is well-written, it's a great read and at fewer than 300 pages it can be finished in a relatively short time... [Januska] appears to be on his way to becoming a nationally recognized figure. -- Windsor Life Magazine, 2013 It's powerful material for a novel, and Januska shows great strengths for plotting and dialogue. -- Quill & Quire June 2013
