Critics Review
“McCone is the new breed of American woman detective … redefining the mystery genre by applying different sensibilities and values to it.”– New York Times Book Review
Throughout her many McCone novels, Muller has displayed a knack both for keeping the series fresh and for allowing her character to grow. She accomplishes both goals this time by taking McCone out of the spotlight but giving her fans a chance to root for her to recover. After all these years, Muller’s series remains a gold standard for female detective stories. - Kirkus, starred review on LOCKED IN
Muller’s series launched the modern hard-boiled female detective, and it has been setting a gold standard…for more than 30 years. - Booklist (starred review)
