"In five previous novels that stretch back from 2003's Heart Seizure to 1998's Pest Control, Fitzhugh has proven that he can feed off the bottom of American culture with the best of them. His latest social entertainment passing as a mystery is set in the creepy, cheesy, but also strangely touching world of FM rock radio. . . The mystery parts move along briskly, but what really gives the book its vitality is the obvious love that [protagonist] Shannon (and presumably Fitzhugh) have for classic rock music of virtually every persuasion."
Publisher's Weekly

"Fitzhugh's satire-mystery [Radio Activity] is full of more intrigue than requests for 'Stairway to Heaven.' [It's] a sly depiction of seedy backwater shenanigans that's worth a spin."
Playboy

"Fitzhugh draws on his experience as a 1970s disc jockey for this likeable suspenser that's also a serious celebration of the glory days of rock. . . The suspense. . . simmers nicely and dovetails surprisingly well with the world of jocks at the station."
Kirkus Reviews

"[Radio Activity is] Pure, unabashed enjoyment, with a healthy dose of gentle humor, Southern charm, and vicious backstabbing - oh, and a body or two."
January Magazine.com

"For connoisseurs of Southern-fried mystery and authentic classic rock, set your dial to Radio Activity and rip the knob off!"
(Jackson, MS) Clarion-Ledger
