Customer Reviews

Fascinating characters & good relationships

I'm a real fan of Kate Wilhelm, both because her plots are interesting, and because her mysteries feature adult women who have good relationships with their fathers and healthy romantic relationships that don't make me want to throw the book away cursing their stupidity. Her books are consistently good -- she never disappoints. And her use of language is beautiful.

A nice 'read a chapter before naptime' book.

Pleasant characters and reasonably good setting descriptions, make this a nice book with which to avoid any deep involvement. There are also some rather cute love scenes--and talk about your family values! I really did enjoy this book at a time when I was tired of psychological thrillers and graphic murder scenes.
