"I especially enjoyed this Inspector Wexford Mystery because it took a little different turn--questioning the identity of the one who inherited. And, of course, the victim played the flute as I did in my youth. "
— Florence (4 out of 5 stars)

Overall Performance:
" Wexford investigates the death of a celebrated musician. This is a classic police procedural. A guaranteed 3/5 for easy holiday reading. Ruthe Rendell was becoming Barbara Vine here, and you can see the psychological thriller tendencies creeping in. "
— Amanda, 5/20/2011
Overall Performance:
" Good quick read. I'll read more "
— Nancy, 4/7/2011
Overall Performance:
" Pretty run of the mill detective story with that plonker Inspector Wexford investigating the apparent death by mischance of an elderly flautist. There is a suspicion that his daughter who inherits is being played by an imposter. Rendell leads the reader up a garden path. "
— John, 4/4/2011
Overall Performance:
" Not a bad read but not as captivating as mysteries written by PDJames. Certainly an airplane book. Not much thinking but an entertaining distraction nonetheless. "
— Daimen, 11/9/2010
Overall Performance:
" Rather an odd story. Quite intriguing. Enjoyable but I felt it went a bit astray somewhere in the middle. However it came together at he end. "
— Hazel, 6/29/2010
Overall Performance:
" Somehow I didn't include this in my list of Rendell's books I've read. I just reread it, and this isn't one of my favorite of hers. I liked enough parts to give it 3 stars. But for a wonderful Ruth Rendell read, be sure to pick up A JUDGEMENT (sic)IN STONE. "
