"Morgenroth's full bodied characterizations, even of minor figures, plus the powerful forward motion of her narrative make this unusual mystery absolutely compelling. Quite possibly a breakthrough by the author They Did It with Love."
-Booklist

"With character studies, a deep love story, challenging yet wildly differing filial duties, and a murder mystery, the only disappointment is that this beautifully gripping novel ends. Highly recommended."
-Library Journal

"Morgenroth's devilishly sly approach to this story is uniquely unnerving for what it doesn't make obvious, providing a great deal of unexpected suspense without a single drop of blood falling for the most part of the read...An excellent character study, an astounding mystery; this read reinforces the idea that literate fiction and mystery can coexist in one book."
-New Mystery Reader

"If you like a sexy mystery, Morgenroth keeps the finger of suspicion rotating faster than a game of Spin the Bottle." —Marie Claire

"Morgenroth's greatest accomplishment is the ease with which she describes a certain kind of ennui and aimlessness-and the kind of fatal betrayals that can lurk beneath all that suburban gloss." —The Washington Post

"The character development and local color are so strong that this would be a hit even without the dazzling surprise ending." — Publishers Weekly
