Reception

Mark Sanderson of the Evening Standard wrote that Connelly "splices his twin narratives into a super-gripping thriller that also adds depth and complexity to his central character" and called it "as brilliant as anything Connelly has written".^[1] A reviewer from The Times of India wrote that while the novel "starts slow", it "picks up the pace as it progresses" and features a "solid plot, with fascinating twists and some shocking moments." They considered the novel to be "one of Connelly's finest."^[2]

Jeff Ayers of the Associated Press called it a "well-written and engaging story from a master of the genre"; he wrote that Connelly "tells two compelling stories that individually would make a terrific read but together make an instant classic."^[3] Kirkus Reviews wrote that while the novel features "All the structural problems you’d expect from jamming two urgent but unrelated cases together", with much of the second half spent on "tying up increasingly low-impact loose ends"; further, the "marvelous" courthouse sequence "will bring you cheering to your feet."^[4]
