Trade Review...Ali's book shows the rich possibilities of analysis that crime fiction offers its readers. -- Heta Pyrhönen -- Clues
In each chapter, Ali displays a sure command of Robbâs oeuvre, of relevant popular romance scholarship, and of contemporary debates among readers. She avoids both dense academic jargon and fannish minutia, creating an accessible text for educated lay readers and a compelling one for scholars of popular romance fiction who do not share her encyclopedic knowledge of all 15,000 or so pages of the In Death books. -- Jessica Miller -- The Journal of Popular Romance Studies / Popular Romance Project
