Critic reviews

"Everything the cerebral puzzle-addict craves, from tempting red herrings to literary arcana to deliciously plotted surprises." ( Kirkus)

Entertaining

The reader was excellent and kept the story flowing at a good pace I will seek out another book by this author

Love Peter Diamond!

Another good Peter Diamond story! Can’t get enough of this series! On to the next one!

Hayrefd

This is one of my favorites because of the way the story weaves from one find to another leading to a very unique ending. Much fun!

Love this series

Totally fun. Smart, funny, clever. Love the characterization, decent plotting, worth the time (and I’m picky.)

Good until end

90% of the book was interesting. However, the ending was wrapped up quickly and took away from the rest of the book. Unimpressed with Michael Healy,s reading - Peter Diamond voice poorly done. Would have preferred the narrator from the second book in the series.
