Reception edit

The Guardian stated that "Vine's great talent is in making sure that we care" but that "When it comes to the animate, however, Vine's touch is sometimes less sure."[2] Entertainment Weekly rated it an A−, writing that "As do all Barbara Vine novels, the well-wrought mystery Grasshopper has a lot lurking below its carefully composed surface".[3]
