Media Reviews
Jecks does his usual skillful job of building suspense and teasing the reader with first one then another possible murderer until, playing against stereotype and conventional expectations, he reveals the unlikely culprits. -- Publishers Weekly
Like all Jecks's tales, this one . . . is nicely detailed and tightly argued, with involving action and memorable characters. -- Library Journal
