In his review published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Richard Marcus wrote:[1]

"Anybody who has read any of the previous books in this series will be delighted to see the familiar faces of DreadfulWater's friends showing up throughout the pages of this book. These support characters are a wonderful mixture of exasperating and loving and help make the book's tone lighter than you'd expect for a novel about a serial killer."[1]

Plot

As DreadfulWater investigates the murder of a Reality TV producer he begins to suspect he is investigating a murderer who killed his girlfriend, years ago.[2]
