    " All Jane Haddam's novels are really good. This one was no exception, even though the basic puzzle was apparent early on. In this, as in most of her Demarkian novels, she relieves the reader from the awfulness of the suspects with the affection shown by the neighbors on Cavanaugh Street. The people on Cavanaugh Street are some of my favorite fictional characters. "

    " slow to simmer, great characters, tight plot...and through it all, the complex thoughts and ponderings of private detective Gregor Demarkian "

    " The whole bit about why did George have to die he was only 100 and why can't we go on forever was silly. We just can't cause we aren't made of stone. "

    " Another good Gregor Demarkian murder mystery. Two murders in the pool house at an exclusive residence complex, one in the pool, the other badly burned. And there is a missing woman, one of the more eccentric of the community. It had an interesting conclusion. "
