Editorial Reviews

"Hilarious ... Mr. Hall delights in applying the classic style of high comedy to base genre material, so he can get away with the wordplay, or any other game that takes his fancy."

Marilyn Stasio

"Hall is a born yarn spinner. Erle Stanley Gardner would be proud. And maybe just a tad jealous."

Dick Lochte

"Hall develops his usual complex plot and dialogue-driven narrative, highly recommended to fans of writers like Gregory Mcdonald, Ed McBain, and (of course) Erle Stanley Gardner."

Jon L. Breen

"Reminiscent of Agatha Christie in her more ingenious mode."
