— Booklist (starred review)“Once again, Muller, who has authored twenty-four books in this series, has tied past actions to the present in an unusual way. Her main characters may have grown more affluent, but they are also more understanding of human failings; as Muller illustrates perfectly, age brings wisdom.”
