Reviews

“Spencer writes with verve and humor while delivering a satisfying mystery”

Publishers Weekly

“Like the lime-mortared shaft that sets the plot in motion, Spencer's puzzle shows workmanship and beyond, since every piece must fit just so before the secret can be revealed”

Kirkus Reviews

“There’s a strong sense of time and place evoking the college atmosphere during wartime”

Library Journal
