Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“[Mina] takes you so deep inside her troubled characters that long after you turn the last page, you wonder if you’ll ever get out again.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Mina exhibits her usual thoughtful flair for tough female protagonists and morally complex suspects and victims.” —Library Journal
“[A] stellar follow-up to Still Midnight.” —Publishers Weekly
“There’s nothing like a Scots accent to give a sense of place, and Jane MacFarlane pulls listeners immediately into Glasgow’s murder squad…She allows the characters from different classes to unfold. Listeners also glimpse the author’s skill at eliciting sympathy for villains. The dialogue is smart, sharp, and clear despite the strong accents, and MacFarlane’s pace suits perfectly.” —AudioFile
