"Stunning. . . . One of the best mystery debuts since V.I.
Warshawski solved her first case."
-Mystery Scene "A real keeper."
-Library Journal STARRED REVIEW and Mystery Debut of the Month
"Looking for the next great mystery series? I've found it....
Instantly engaging.... It was nearly impossible to tear myself
away, and the sleuth inside my head was kept busy guessing whodunit
until the very end...[P]erfect. Get in on the ground floor with
this series, you won't be sorry."
-Chicago Now
"The trial scenes and dialogue with lawyers bristle with realism,
and the book climaxes with a surprising twist."
-Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine "A taut, compelling, very moving
debut novel that invites us into a murder, and into the life of a
wonderful main character. This is an astonishingly accomplished and
assured novel; the fact it's a first novel is wonderful news for
those of us who love crime fiction."
-LOUISE PENNY, author of How the Light Gets In: A Chief Inspector
Gamache Novel "Angelotti's smart-aleck tendencies and unswerving
dedication to his vulnerable client--as well as an exciting
climax--keep the reader turning the pages."
-Publishers Weekly
"If you cross Christie's And Then There Were None, Grisham's The
Firm and Harris' The Silence of the Lambs, you might get something
like [this.]"
-RT Book Reviews "Raimondo's wonderful writing brings the
heart-stopping action to life, and she is just as accomplished at
pulling the readers' heartstrings.... The book ends with the
mystery of the killer wrapped up, but it leaves the mystery of the
ensuing trajectory of Mark's life wide open. I'm looking forward to
finding out about the latter in future installments of the
series."
-Reviewing the Evidence "[A] terrific mystery starring a
wise-cracking protagonist who uses self-deprecating humor as a
defense mechanism.... The storyline grips the reader from the
moment Mark and Charlie meet...."
-Mystery Gazette
