Reviews
“An engrossing puzzler.”
“Wholly beguiling…A pleasure.”
“It’s a powerful moment in a book that, without gimmickry or cross-genre splicing, delivers superb, unashamedly traditional crime writing…[A] fine tale.”
“[Prebble] creates an ensemble cast all on his own and directs them with perfect pacing. This is a very entertaining 10 hours of listening.”
“An inventive plot and stylish prose…contribute to making this another winner from a veteran crime author.”
