A homage to the golden age of murder mysteries -- Donna Leon, The Sunday Times

Block keeps the reader entertained throughout with his charming, eccentric characters and trade-mark humor. -- Library Journal

For clean close-to-the-bone prose, the line goes from Dashiell Hammett to James M Cain to Lawrence Block. He's that good. -- Martin Cruz Smith
