Editorial Reviews

This novel is digressive, but compulsively readable, in part because of the [McGuinness's] precise handling of the moral climate in which the story plays out. Quite aside from the crime at the heart of the plot, the demands of human decency are pitted time and again against acts of cruelty and cowardice…The story is bleak, but the prose bristles with caustic humor.
