Description:

“A fine yarn…. The pace is fast, the plot well-knit, with plenty of suspense and surprise as extra dividends.”

– Chicago Tribune.

Phoebe Wycherly was missing two months before her wealthy father hired Archer to find her. That was plenty of time for a young girl who wanted to disappear to do so thoroughly – or for someone to make her disappear. And before he can locate the Wycherly girl, Archer had to reckon with the Wycherly woman, Phoebe's mother, an eerily unmaternal blonde who keeps too many residences, had too many secrets, and left too many corpses in her wake.

“Macdonald is one of a handful of writers in the [mystery] genre whose worth and quality surpass the limitations of the form.” – Los Angeles Times.

Margaret Culkin Banning, on fiction:

Fiction is not a dream.

Nor is it guesswork.

It is imagining based on facts,

and the facts must be accurate or the work of imagining will not stand up.

- Margaret Culkin Banning.
