De’Shawn Charles Winslow’s DECENT PEOPLE received a great review from Humanities Tennessee’s website Chapter16: “Murder mysteries conventionally focus on a single question: Who did it? The best of the genre — such as De’Shawn Charles Winslow’s new novel DECENT PEOPLE — raise more philosophical issues. What is the value of human life? What kind of world do we live in? Is justice possible? … Despite the darkness of the subject matter, Winslow has a light touch, moving readers briskly through the novel’s kaleidoscopic events. He spices the story with period detail, apposite references to MCMILLAN & WIFE and Patty Hearst that remind us we are visiting a lost world. Winslow’s novel partakes of seedy crime and racial violence, family secrets and betrayals, romantic rivalries and hopeless loves but resolves into an essentially domestic question: Where can we find a home?” Winslow was also interviewed for Pen America's "Pen 10 Column." Bloomsbury published DECENT PEOPLE on January 17, 2023.
