Review

"As taut and chilling as anything Hitchcock put on film." -"San Francisco Chronicle"

"A first-rate cliffhanger." -"The New York Times Book Review"

"Penetrating. . . . Smiley's lovely, clear prose takes to the mystery as a slow revelation of character that heats up to a page-turning finish." -"Ms."

"Sharp and memorable. . . . Finely wrought." -"Newsday
