Reception

[edit | edit source]

The Canberra Times wrote "The private-eye novels of Corris are shorter than those of Dashiell Hammett, his apparent model, and therefore less tedious; but if you are looking for a touch of Raymond Chandler imaginativeness or elegance of design then look elsewhere."[4]
