"Denise Mina has made Paddy smart, feisty, hot-blooded, and guilt-stricken, a riveting creature of her time and place.... Paddy is immensely likeable....Like the star of any foolproof crime franchise, she has become an old friend "
—Janet Maslin, New York Times
"Watching Paddy careen around downtown Glasgow in too-tight skirts, dress down sinister thugs in pubs, and enjoy a more robust love life than tubby women in literature are usually permitted is entertainment enough."—Entertainment Weekly
"What makes this book so compelling [is] the way Mina brings Paddy and her world to life, building classic mystery tension without sacrificing personal detail. In all her insecurity, Paddy is achingly real...and Mina's note-perfect writing captures Paddy's voice dead-on."—Boston Globe
