The New York Times Book Review This smart thriller works all three story lines into a daunting plot involving a computer game called Serial killer detective that goes haywire when someone in the real world starts replicating its 20 staged killings.

Kirkus Reviews - Ellen Geiger/Curtis Brown Late-night alert Don't settle down with this wacky, supercharged maiden voyage at your bedside till you've cleared your schedule for the following morning.

Booklist - Carrie Bissey An engaging debut thriller by a mother-daughter writing team who lace their suspense with humor a la Harlan Coben.

Publishers Weekly A mother-daughter writing team pens a soundly plotted thriller that fires on all cylinders ... an accelerating, unpredictable plot ... an array of well-drawn characters and, most importantly, witty repartee.

 Harlan Coben Fast, fresh, funny and outrageously suspenseful ... debut thriller of the year.

 Jayne Ann Krentz An exhilarating, roller-coaster ride of a story... Can't wait for the next book!

 Nevada Barr This book is not only original but genuinely funny...a truly satisfying, terrific read.
