Reception
Jonathan Kirsch of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Rendell "tells her story with such elegance and restraint, with such a literate voice and an insightful mind, that her book transcends the mystery genre and achieves something sublime."[3] Nancy Pate of the Orlando Sentinel opines that Rendell "approaches stories from unexpected angles, parceling out surprises that seem exactly right in retrospect."[4]
