Certain writers remain utterly reliable, utterly enchanting
*Herald Sun*
Excellent....a captivating whodunit plot, a clever fair-play clue
concealed in plain view, and the deft use of humor to lighten the
story's dark patches. On a deeper level, the crime provides a means
for Penny's unusually empathic, all-too-fallible lead to unearth
truths about human passions and weaknesses while avoiding simple
answers
*Publishers Weekly*
Penny - who melds prose at once expressive and restrained with a
keen understanding of human emotions - creates a novel that earns
its title, a book that shines with the grace and compassion that
stamp her work
*Richmond Times Dispatch*
Haunting, brilliant...Chief Inspector Gamache is one of my
favourite characters in fiction
*Linda Fairstein*
Penny writes with grace and intelligence about complex people
struggling with complex emotions. But her great gift is her uncanny
ability to describe what might seem indescribable - the play of
light, the sound of celestial music, a quiet sense of peace
*New York Times*
With enormous empathy for the troubled human soul - and an ending
that makes your blood race and your heart break - Penny continues
to raise the bar of her splendid series
*People*
For the reader, meanwhile, there's a final beautiful mystery to
contemplate: How does Penny consistently write such luminous and
compassionate books?
*Seattle Times*
An ingenious, gripping and elegantly written mystery... an utterly
magical read
*Irish Independent*
Rich in character, language, humour and emotional tension, this is
one of those books you immerse yourself in and miss once you've
emerged
*Morning Star*
A pleasingly ambitious novel . . . this is a novel that places its
faith in characterisation, atmosphere and the endlessly fascinating
psychology of the human mind
