Recensione:
“An emotionally involving and intellectually challenging journey from night in to day. A fine and moving novel about bereavement.”
–Reginald Hill
“Blunt writes a taut, gripping tale of suspense that is loaded with gritty realism. . . . Few can match his wit, wry observations and emotionally charged background sketches.”
–Edmonton Journal
“If Blunt ends the Cardinal series here, he has created a colourful parade of seasonal mysteries. But his readers will hope to meet Cardinal again, as a lion in winter.”
–Winnipeg Free Press
“Blunt, who has received Canadian and international awards for this series, once again proves he can set the scene better than almost anyone else in the crime genre. . . . There is something else Blunt excels at, and that is shedding light on the chilling inner workings of the criminal mind.”
–The Globe and Mail
“The most beautifully written, deeply felt page-turner of the year.”
–Kirkus (starred review)
“In a series that has already taken home numerous awards, this volume, Blunt’s fourth, stands out for its grace, compassion and the elegance of his writing. ... It is a poignant literary work that nonetheless offers all the gritty satisfaction of a standard police procedural. This is, quite simply, a great book from a writer at the top of his form.”
–Calgary Herald
