"I wish the Rue Morgue Press would publish the entire set of Gladys Mitchell's mysteries. In the opinion of many critics and readers, she should be as widely read and well-known as the big three: Christie, Sayers and Marsh. Her plots are better developed than Christie's." — Cece (4 out of 5 stars)

" A slightly odd book with an odd protagonist. However, the mystery was compelling and the writing portrayed the creepiness very well. "
" I watched the Mrs. Bradley mysteries on PBS and discovered Gladys Mitchell. I love that these books have a strong female protagonist with a sense of humor. I love books that take place in England too! Her books are on the short side and very entertaining! "
" I wish I knew about Gladys Mitchell earlier. I enjoyed this mystery more than anything I've read all year. I'm almost through a second one, and I'm getting the sense they are all wonderful and clever. "
" Really well done, compelling story with unusual lead detective. "
" I don't think I enjoy Gladys Mitchell, though it's well-written and well-plotted. "
" Agatha Christie-like mystery but much, much scarier. "
