Reception
editKirkus Reviews wrote that Connelly "never lets you forget, from his title onward, the life-or-death issues behind every move in the game" and called the novel the "most richly accomplished of the brothers' pairings to date—and given Connelly's high standards, that's saying a lot."[1] Oline H. Cogdill of the Sun Sentinel wrote that the "superb" plot "maintains high suspense until the final page, a hallmark of this author's reputation", and that the novel "shows a renewal of the half-brothers' connection as Connelly brings a rich patina to the individual personalities of Haller and Bosch."[2] Tom Nolan of The Wall Street Journal wrote that the novel is "enlivened by the presence of Haller's ex-wife" and that "Haller's legal savvy plays off Bosch's investigative skills, adding to the suspense and pleasures of this immensely satisfying book."[3]
