"A one-woman case for the defense of unauthorized literary
sequels...intelligent, witty, complex and atmospheric...By making a
woman possible who matches Holmes in brainpower, as well as in
depressive tendencies of mind and spare elegance of manner, King
has made marriage possible for the most famous and, surely, one of
the most aloof detectives of all time....A spellbinding
mystery...superb." —The Washington Post Book World on Justice
Hall
"A wonderful blend of sheer wit and canny ratiocination, this is
mystery at its most ingenious."—The Guardian on The Art of
Detection
"Mesmerizing...King does a wonderful job of probing the human
psyche...All of her novels are superb."—Daily American on Locked
Rooms
