Kirkus Reviews | 5 Feb 2012

In Johansen’s capable hands they nearly become flesh and bone! This book is hard to put down so allow yourself plenty of reading time before picking it up.

The action is non-stop, edge of your seat and always imaginative and the narrative flows beautifully.

City Book Review | 24 May 2012
...the action is occasionally bogged down by the histories of even minor characters. Too many of them have appeared in previous Johansen novels, and it’s difficult to care for them all.
