More About the Author

I was a prolific journalist before I turned to crime... crime fiction, that is. My debut novel, THE DAMAGE DONE (Forge, 2010) won the 2011 Anthony Award for Best First Novel, and the Crimespree Award for Best First Novel (it was a finalist for the Macavity and Arthur Ellis awards). My second novel, THE NEXT ONE TO FALL, will be published by Forge in February 2012. Some of my short stories appear in anthologies, including CRIME FACTORY: THE FIRST SHIFT, BLOOD GUTS & WHISKEY and BEAT TO A PULP: ROUND ONE. Before that, my day job was travel journalist: I've written 17 guidebooks for Frommer's and hundreds of articles for magazines in the U.S. and Canada. I also run the www.GlutenFreeGuidebook.com site, for people with celiac disease/gluten intolerance. You can see more of my writing and photography at www.HilaryDavidson.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal Resource for First Time Visit to NYC!, May 13, 2007

Jane Smith "travel fan" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frommer's New York City Day by Day (Frommer's Day by Day - Pocket) (Paperback)

This was the perfect book for our first trip to NYC. The subway lines were accurate and easy to use. The fold out maps were perfect! All of the attractions are here with key tips, directions, and insider info. Follow the mapped out walking tours and you'll definitely see The New York that you imagined. The hotel info was okay, but more accurate info is available online. We'll definitely use our book again for the next trip to New York. Overall, this is a well thought book, and the perfect size to fit in your purse.

I bought this right before my 3-day trip to New York. The maps inside are great! We also used it for ideas on what places to hit during our drip. It's small and compact, easy to carry around. Would recommend it.
