"First-class, old-time, hyper-ingenious whodunit." "Observer""
"Whenever a character comes back as many times a Chief
Superintendent Wycliffe, a reviewer is faced with a dilemma: What
can you say that you haven't already said? We called attention to
Burley's solid plotting, well-described and colorful settings, and
intriguing characters . . . Finally, we have no choice but to
repeat ourselves by emphasizing one more time how pleasurable the
familiar conventions of the genre can be in the hands of a writer
as good as Burley." "Booklist""
"You can always count on Wycliffe . . . he inevitably guarantees a
good story, convincing characters, and appealing landscape."
