• "The fifth novel in this remarkably unsentimental series . . . brings to life a violent but vital society of astonising contradictions." -
New York Times • "Jennings has . . . a fine eye for telling details and good characters. . . . Jennings handles all the plotlines with aplomb, while never losing her grounding in Toronto history." -
Globe and Mail • "The portrayal of Victorian life in Toronto rings true. We feel the chill of the poorly heated rooms. . . . This is a well-written, tightly plotted mystery." -
