Review
"Kellerman's latest...will please her fans, but is unlikely to make new converts....Others, and Kellerman herself, have done a better job of melding a mystery plot with the challenges of maintaining Jewish identity in the modern world." Publishers Weekly

"[A] solid whodunit, which is not only an entertaining puzzler but also takes the characters' relationships to a new level....The romance and the dialogue are a tad overdone, but series fans won't be too concerned." Booklist
