Críticas:
Superbly told, impossible to put down, and laced with Rankin's unmistakeable laconic wit it precisely underlines the treasure that Rebus has become. (DAILY MAIL)
Though it moves at pace, what makes this tale so satisfying is that its protagonists have had time to develop. Rebus's input serves to highlight the benefits of age, experience and keeping a sense of community. (GUARDIAN)
This elegantly crafted and witty thriller proves this old devil still has all the best tunes. (SUNDAY MIRROR)
Rankin is expert at what theorists of realism call the authenticating detail. (SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY)
Essential crime-reading. (SAGA)
This is an interesting and enjoyable novel. (LITERARY REVIEW)
