"As Ms. Mina grippingly reveals the implications of these events,
it's clear that she is something more than a crime writer. Like
Dennis Lehane with Mystic River, she describes a close-knit,
secretive community in a substantial novel that happens to be
centered on a crime."--Janet Maslin, New York Times
"Her characterizations and settings are so authentic....There are
probably now as many crime writers in Scotland as criminals, but
Mina may be the pick of the bunch."--Daily Telegraph
"One of the most exciting writers to have emerged in Britain for
years."--Ian Rankin
"Splendidly written...Magnificently readable....Her characters
breathe with an almost Dickensian life."--The Times
