Reception
Paul Marck of the Edmonton Journal wrote that the novel is "quite simply one of the most compelling, raw and bitterly emotional chapters in the Banks anthology."[1] Laura DeMarco of The Plain Dealer wrote that mystery for the Cabbot character, as well as Robinson's "excellent skill at creating place and time and character", make the novel a "must-read for any fans of Brit mysteries".[2] Oline H. Cogdill of the South Florida Sun Sentinel wrote that while Robinson "revisits some characters", he "intelligently puts a compelling new spin".[3]
