Review:
"One of the "Big Three" female mystery novelists, judged the equal of Dorothy L Sayers and Agatha Christie, but that's not quite accurate - she's more like a mad combination of both" (Independent)
"Superbly odd" (Observer)
"Gladys Mitchell can always be relied upon for a packed and meaty novel, and an intelligent one at that" (Guardian)
"Easily the best woman detective in fiction" (News Chronicle)
