Jewell is on a hot streak, with one brilliant thriller after another . . . As tantalizingly labyrinthine as her stories are, it’s the way she anchors them in a recognizably real world, and populates them with abundantly human characters, that makes them so successful. In a genre full of top-flight authors, she ranks very near the absolute top. * Booklist Starred Review *
