Reviews

""Coetzee's tale is anything but formulaic ... What sets it apart from most other whodunits is that after introducing us to a corpse and a cop, Coetzee keeps Detective Ley nearly entirely off screen ... Instead, she opts to follow a broad cast of characters over nearly a fortnight, letting the solution to the mystery unspool through their day-to-day lives."" -- Washington Independent Review of Books ""An often painful but nonetheless compelling and eye-opening read. "" -- Booklist
