"Alfred Hitchcock fans should love Kandel's fifth Cece Caruso mystery, a terrific tribute that's also wickedly funny . . . Kandel keeps the action tight all the way to a delightful denouement that Hitch no doubt would have appreciated." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"[B]reezy, entertaining . . . Brisk prose, a pistol of a protagonist, and nice riffs on Hitch--both biographical and psychological." -- Booklist

"[R]eal charmers . . . [a] clever series." -- New York Times Book Review
