Reception
- "LeMaitre is a beautiful writer."―Crime Pieces [1]
- "[The] stunning final volume of Lemaitre's Commandant Camille Verhoeven trilogy . . . The author won the CWA International Dagger Award for 2013's Alex, the first book in the trilogy to be published in the U.S., and this gut-wrenching entry may well garner similar honors."―Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) [2]
- "Verhoeven remains a laser-focused detective who is relentless in doing whatever it takes to impose just a sliver of justice in a consistently unjust world. A bittersweet conclusion to this ferociously intense series."
