Review Quotes

"A wonderful novel, impeccably written and thoroughly engrossing." --The New York Times Book Review

"Where do love, honesty, and responsibility intersect? . . . A provocative rumination on family and what it means to do the right thing." --Glamour

"Funny, suspenseful, and sometimes creepy." --Los Angeles Times

"One of the most surprising thrillers of the year--completely offbeat, unexpected, and unique. Margot Livesey is right up there in the realm of P. D. James." --Newsday

"A story of many kinds of love, indifference, secrecy, and blind selfishness that drives as fiercely to its surprising conclusion as any thriller." --Rosellen Brown
