“Crombie is adept at layering character with police work and keeping the ongoing plot up to date.” Toronto Globe and Mail
“As usual, Crombie handles a complicated plot with style, providing enough twists and turns to hold the reader’s attention while driving the narrative to a stunning conclusion.” Amazon.com, editorial review
“A clever police procedural as well as an exciting relationship drama.” Midwest Book Review
“A supremely satisfying…Essential for mystery lovers.” Library Journal
“Fearful of igniting a new Jack the Ripper-style panic, Duncan and Gemma soon find themselves at odds when their investigations become linked in startling, unexpected ways, culminating in an exciting denouement with serious undercurrents. Crombie keeps the action moving throughout.” Publishers Weekly
“As much a splendid depiction of London’s Notting Hill Road district as it is a harrowing murder mystery. Crombie weaves the café and pub owners and the stall keepers in Notting Hill Market into the story, giving it a feeling of groundedness that many contemporary mysteries lack.” Booklist
“Anglophiles will cheer the sociological evocation of the changing London neighborhood, and there’s plenty of justice, despite the title.” Kirkus Reviews
“Michael Deehy has narrated earlier books in this series and has a firm grasp of the characters. Over several books, we come to know these people; Deehy’s sensitive characterizations help make them our old friends. Deehy is particularly good at conveying emotion and states of being-tired characters sound tired, peevish characters sound peevish. If this is new territory, you’ll be hooked; if you know the series, welcome back.” AudioFile
