Review:

"This page turner of a book proceeds to an exciting conclusion . . . picking up and reading the 11th title by Barbara Nadel was like putting on a comfortable pair of gloves; she writes with such fluidity and grace about a country she has a lot of intimacy with . . . a real delight."  —eurocrime.co.uk
