"[The Mary Russell series is] the most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today."--Lee Child
"Superb . . . shocking . . . Come for the mystery, stay for the
sightseeing, the gibes at fascism, and the heroine's climactic
masquerade as silent film star Harold Lloyd."--Kirkus
Reviews
"[Laurie R.] King's storytelling is always a pleasure, full of lush
details and clever twists. Cole Porter, who is an integral part of
the book's LGBTQ story line, adds an unexpected and welcome star
turn."--Booklist
"Well-plotted . . . This ranks as one of the better recent
installments in this popular series."--Publishers Weekly
Praise for the award-winning novels of Laurie R. King

partner of his mind as well as his heart."--The Washington
Post Book World

company."--The New York Times "Erudite, fascinating . . . by
all odds the most successful re-creation of the famous inhabitant
of 221B Baker Street ever attempted."--Houston Chronicle

abandon."--Booklist (starred review) "Whip-smart,
suspenseful and intricately plotted."--Shelf Awareness

Denver Post "Deliciously rich."--Santa Cruz Sentinel

Tribune
