‘Starred Review. Wickedly enjoyable… Sandford’s trademark sly humour shines throughout.’ Publishers Weekly
‘Starred Review. Holy smoke, Holy Ghost is a hot one! … The dialogue is sometimes biting and always witty, and the entire book is at once wicked and sublime.’ Booklist
‘It would be nice if the payoff were more closely linked to the amusing setup, but the detection, though often tediously routine, carries all the authenticity you’d expect from a pro like Sandford.’ Kirkus
