Reviews
"Delightful...Thompson's books never disappoint."--Fresh Fiction
"This long-lasting series . . . has lost none of its interest or attraction. . . . Thompson has always vividly shown the life of the rich and the very poor of the city. . . . This is a strong tale, emotionally and historically, and a puzzling mystery."--RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 Stars, Top Pick)
