People) Vera Kelly series returns in full force as our recently out-of-the-spy-game heroine finds herself traveling from Brooklyn to a sprawling countryside estate in the Caribbean in her first case...
Trade ReviewThe story is filled with twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end. The author does an excellent job of depicting the ways in which the character's experiences of gender and sexuality intersect, and how it affects her life, relationships, and sense of self * Queer in the World *
Vera, outwardly cool but inwardly seething, makes for great company. Rosalie Knecht - proving it can be done - has created something truly original * Times (Crime Club) *
Unfolding in a persuasively evoked 1967, this smart, stylish mystery fizzes with wit and intrigue * Irish Times (Crime Book of the Year) *
Knecht writes crisply, with salt and sharp wit...a smart, intelligent mystery -- Declan Hughes * Irish Times *
Wonderfully sardonic yet compassionate heroine. Definitely a series to watch -- John Williams * Mail on Sunday *
