Reception

edit

Maureen Corrigan of The Washington Post called it "ingenious, frantically suspenseful, and very, very bleak."[1] Kirkus Reviews stated: "Fans who don't think the supporting cases run away with the story will marvel at Connelly's remarkable ability to keep them all not only suitably mystifying, but deeply humane, as if he were the Ross Macdonald of the police procedural."[2] Charles Finch of USA Today rated the novel 3 stars out of 4 and wrote that while the story is "fairly meandering and uncertain", Connelly eventually "hits his stride" and his "denouement here is thrilling."[3]
