Reseñas de la Crítica

"Diamond remains one of the most realistic and human of fictional sleuths....While some readers will anticipate the solution with little trouble, sharp prose and characterization make this another winner in this enduring series." ( Publishers Weekly)

Good police work!

Much of this edition of the Diamond series depends on one’s appreciation for Peter Diamond and his prowess as an inspector.
If you love the series, you’ll enjoy this one.

Nice job

I enjoy these Peter Diamnomd mysteries read by Simon Prebble. Makes covid seem farther away. thank goodness.

Another complex story

I love the twists and turns these mysteries always have. I love the fact that finding the motive takes work. Looking forward to the next book already

Wonderful

This story pulls the reader in from the beginning. The characters are great and so are the twists in the stories. I love each of the Diamond stories!!!!

Love this series

What can I say that I haven’t said before: amazingly well written, well thought out plot that keeps you guessing til the end, and a main character who is nothing like the folks in the book thinks he is. I almost didn’t continue this series when one of the main characters I identified with and liked was killed off. Now I grudgingly admit to being glad I did.
