Critic reviews

"Jarvis brings the Deptford Mice trilogy to a stunning conclusion in a story that resonates with mysticism, fear, courage, and horror." (Booklist)

"Fans of the mice will find plenty of what they expect in this conclusion: lots of action, lots of gore, a large cast of characters, and a truly evil antihero." (School Library Journal)

Amazing ending to the trilogy

Narration was great and consistent throughout all 3 books. The ending to the trilogy is so herat wrenching and has you pleading on the end of your seat. The characters were so alive and real, even being mice, they felt human. Loved this story, and I'll be looking for more similar by the author.
