“A gifted pro.”
Kirkus Reviews
“An American mystery novelist who writes so vividly about England, she might have been born within the sound of the Bow Bells…Crombie gets better with each book…She has the remarkable knack of summing up a character in a very few words, making each of them count. Her prose is lyrical, biting, and evocative.”
Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Crombie does her version of an English country-house mystery, only setting it in a Scottish bed-and-breakfast…Crombie deftly interweaves a parallel story about an earlier family whose lives revolve on a distillery and offers interesting details about malt whiskey. Neat.”
Orlando Sentinel
“In the style of P.D. James, Crombie explores character as much as circumstance.”
Calgary Sun
“Crombie wields her keyboard with adroitness…[She] isn’t your quickie whodunit read. Her sentences are actually crafted.”
Charleston Post and Courier
