Delivers all the suspense and twisty plots that readers have come to expect from this popular series-- "Booklist on The Reckoning"

Excellent . Golden age fans looking to pit their wits against a savvy sleuth will be more than satisfied-- "Publishers Weekly on The Death of Kings"

Momentum builds to a satisfying ending . Maintains Airth's reputation for carefully constructed, highly detailed plots-- "Kirkus Reviews on The Reckoning"
