Review
"The unique and skillful way in which James uses words and his clever, diabolical plots are what make for another outstanding entry in this popular, highly original series"--Booklist Starred Review
"In their 30th outing, Harpur and Iles are still at odds, still droll and still among the best the British police procedural has to offer."--Kirkus Reviews
"The lead characters repeat their usual amusing antics in familiar settings, but of course that's a major part of the series' appeal"--Publishers Weekly
