Critic reviews

"The latest case for homicide investigator Lucinda Pierce, who's slowly learning to cope with the facial deformities left by a shotgun, marks another step on her road to recovery. Lucinda ( Punish the Deed, 2009, etc.) is such a strong heroine that she should engage many readers." ( Kirkus Reviews)

"Diane Fanning has created a winning heroine in Lucinda Pierce." (Alafair Burke, author of 212)
