"George has been aptly compared to P.D. James, and her similar attention to subtleties of character lifts this traditional whodunit out of the ordinary."
-- Chicago Sun-Times

"She invites comparison with both P.D. James and Ruth Rendell in the psychological interest of her characters and the intricacy and ingenuity of her plotting…A spectacular new voice in mystery writing."

-- The Sun, Baltimore
