"As suspenseful and tautly written as any of her detective stories--the psychological twists and turns will tantalize the reader as cunningly as a well-paced clue." -The New York Times

"P.D. James steps into territory occupied by Truman Capote, Shelby Foote, Carson McCullers, even Henry James." -The New Republic

"A superior thriller--tingling with suspense, difficult to put down." -Newsday
