"Starred Review. Few puzzle solvers will unravel this one before the wind-up, and awards committees will be queuing up to honor this second case for Shaw." - Kirkus Reviews
"Starred Review. Twists pile on twists in Kelly's superb whodunit." - Publishers Weekly
"Except for [the] hackneyed subplot, this is a fine thriller, in terms of both atmosphere and suspense." - Booklist
"Starred Review. An excellent choice for fans of British police procedurals and "locked-room" mysteries." - Library Journal
