Recensione:
What distinguishes the book is the remarkable portrayal of the two heroes ... Their relationship, sensitively developed, lifts them above other sleuthing partners of the period and gives the story a moral dimension which belies the Boy's Own Paper cover. A classic. (Daily Telegraph)
The books in the new Oxford Popular Fiction series of paperbacks are good to have around. (Valentine Cunningham, The Observer)
