Review
"Dark Harbor is weaker than earlier entries in the series because Stone has too little to do, and, despite some red herrings, it is relatively easy to figure out who committed the crimes." Library Journal
Review
"In the hands of a lesser writer, some of these plot strands would eventually lead somewhere. Here, they tail off into more murder and a single kidnapping. Bet you can't guess who's kidnapped." Kirkus Reviews
