Vera, outwardly cool but inwardly seething, makes for great company. Rosalie Knecht - proving it can be done - has created something truly original * Times (Crime Club) * Knecht writes crisply, with salt and sharp wit...a smart, intelligent mystery -- Declan Hughes * Irish Times * Wonderfully sardonic yet compassionate heroine. Definitely a series to watch -- John Williams * Mail on Sunday * A short, smart, rewarding detective novel with real heart * LoveReading * Gripping, magnificently written . . . This is a cool, strolling boulevardier of a book, worldly, wry, unrushed but never slow, which casts its gaze upon the middle of the last century and forces us to consider how it might be failing us still -- Charles Finch on Who is Vera Kelly? * New York Times Book Review *
