Another smooth page-turner from Roberts, who keeps the action moving and still fits in some wry observations on parenthood, teenagers, and marriage. -- Book Reviewer "Kirkus Reviews"
Roberts combines a strong character and a clever plot with the ethnic diversity that Cleveland provides. He proves that Midwest private eyes can hold their own with the best ones from either coast. -- Book Reviewer "Des Moines Register"
Moves with all the skill and economy of prose that is fast becoming Roberts' trademark. -- Book Reviewer "Booklist"
Roberts displays a sure sense of place in this involving mystery, and his decent, likable detective is firmly aware of the consequences of his actions. -- Book Reviewer "Publishers Weekly"
