—Associated Press

“Christie level plotting.”
—Time Out

“Lovesey’s writing is lucid and succinct, and he is a consummate story-teller.

—Denver Post

“Lovesey will be hard-pressed to surpass this current effort for its combination of the puzzle and the personal, but based on his current achievement, it would be no great surprise if he did.”
