Review

“[A] dramatic, expertly crafted thriller.” ―Entertainment Weekly (Must List)

“[An] exciting thriller...Casey's growing fan base will snatch up the latest entry in what has turned out to be a can't-wait-for-the-next-one series.” ―Library Journal

“Maeve Kerrigan [is] a fascinating and plausible character...She is no superwoman, she lacks supernatural acuity, and she doesn't even have so much as a single dragon tattoo. What she has is persistence, integrity and emotional intelligence, and a very deft way of insinuating herself into a reader's affections.” ―The Irish Independent (UK)

“The Maeve Kerrigan [novels are] all solid procedurals with exceptionally well-drawn characters whose relationship continue to develop in each entry. Derwent, a brilliant copper in Maeve's eyes despite his numerous personality defects, serves as a foil and balance for her, and, with him at the center here, this novel attains further complexity in the interplay of the police-force members. Prime crime fiction.” ―Booklist (starred review)

“A captivating police procedural heavy on characterization that will keep readers up late into the night. Maeve is a character to love; she's easy to relate to as she holds her own with humor and snappy dialogue. The voice of the novel is unique and captivating.” ―RT Book Reviews (4½ stars)
