Editorial Reviews:
Review:"Virtually all the hallmarks of the classic British mystery appear here, the apparent originals of all those overly clever poisonings, those horrors in sleepy priories and dramas set against majestic Highland backdrops, those appallingly unlikely suspects.... These cases have an advantage over their fictional descendants, however, by virtue of their...psychological depth."
Luc Sante, New York Review of Books
Review:"Without ever straining to please, Roughead writes wonderful page-turning stuff, crammed with archaisms and play; he's an energetic connoisseur of wrongdoing who measures his shocks with care, teasing the reader with the hoariest conventions for better effect.... [H]e follows up each trail of evidence, and each argument in court, with a clarity and attention to detail worthy of Perry Mason."
Jesse Berrett, Salon, 03/21/2001
