Ms. Morse has arrived' - Observer * 'Imogen Quy positively sparkles on the page as an amateur sleuth.' - Sunday Express * 'In Imogen Quy, the author has created an admirable detective heroine, as unabashed as she is unaffected.' - Times Literary Supplement * 'Paton Walsh plots deftly and writes intelligently... Sayers' many fans will be delighted.' - Andrew Taylor, Independent * 'Jill Paton Walsh demonstrates that the traditional ingredients of the woman sleuth, the academic background and a clever puzzle are still capable of being arranged into an entertaining and stimulating crime novel.' - Manchester Evening News"
