Reviews

""Alternating chapters narrated by different characters add to the suspense of the intricate plot, which propels readers through a San Francisco few tourists see--from Colma, the city's necropolis, to the exclusive mansions of Sea Cliff--and to a harrowing, haunting denouement."" -- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""As Sharon celebrates another birthday, devoted readers will appreciate all the more both the groundbreaking nature of this series (the first to star a female PI in hard-boiled fiction) and the fact that, throughout her long run, Sharon has aged gracefully and matured as a heroine and a woman."" -- ""Booklist (starred review)"" ""Ms. Muller's plotting is masterful, with her sure-footed, economical storytelling--even with the changes of narrator from chapter to chapter--supporting the plot as it glides easily along. And that takes some great writing."" -- ""New York Journal of Books"" ""Recommended for fans of Muller, women detectives, and San Francisco culture."" -- ""Library Journal""
