Praise for Ann Cleeves: "I do love Vera!" --Val McDermid "Nothing
short of riveting." --Louise Penny "Creates a dark enough mood to
keep you straining to see what will come to light next."
--People
"Cleeves' taut, atmospheric thriller will keep readers guessing
until the last page . . . Chilling." --Publishers Weekly (starred
review) "Cleeves offers up evocative settings and flawed characters
with depth, making her mysteries wonderfully addictive. Her latest
is no exception." --Library Journal (starred) "I didn't expect the
final reveal. Those cleverly disguised dead ends had me completely
fooled, which is just the way I like it. But I was sorry to say
goodbye."--Crime Fiction Lover "A nice mixture, in the British
tradition, of social comedy and detective work. More Vera, please."
--Booklist (starred review) "Intricate and engrossing . . . offers
readers the pleasures of the traditional locked room/isolated
island mystery." --Washington Post Book World "Ann Cleeves is a
skillful technician, keeping our interest alive and building slowly
up to the denouement. Her easy use of language and clever story
construction make her one of the best natural writers of detective
fiction." --Sunday Express (UK) If you're a fan of Frances Fyfield,
Minette Walters, or Val McDermid, get to know Cleeves. --Globe and
Mail (Canada) "Trauma, obsession, and murder entwine in a
suspense-packed crime story that puts Ms. Cleeves in the Rendell
class." --Peterborough Evening Telegraph
"It's a dark, interesting novel with considerable emotional force
behind it." --The Spectator "Cleeves's softly, softly approach
delivers a powerful punch." --The Observer
