Ottawa Citizen wrote: "The story flags toward the end, requiring two chapters to explain the previous non-stop action. But otherwise it's a page-turner — the highest praise for crime fiction." Gary Curtis of
The Hamilton Spectator "highly recommended" the novel, though criticized its characterisation of Banks. Catherine Ford of the
Calgary Herald opined that while the novel is "well written and interesting", it "lacks a gripping narrative". ==References==
