From Library Journal
Kaminsky's fourth title in his series featuring the long-suffering Chicago detective Abe Lieberman (e.g., Lieberman's Day, Audio Reviews, LJ 3/1/95) is a delight. When career burglar George Patnicks witnesses a murder in the course of a domestic break-in and Lieberman is assigned the case, their paths are fated to cross. As usual, complications arise in Abe's personal life and in the cases he is handling. Reader David Colacci makes all the right choices in his reading: he uses a slightly sardonic voice while infusing dry humor and resignation in Abe's dialog and handles the remaining characters with ease. Kaminsky's story is involving and character-driven, with a feel for their daily lives. A must for mystery collections.?Melody A. Moxley, Rowan P.L., Salisbury,

From Booklist
George Patniks is a professional burglar and a good one. Unfortunately, the day he has chosen to burgle the Rozier home turns out to be the same day Mr. Rozier has chosen to kill Mrs. Rozier. As the one witness who can't report the crime to the police, Patniks tries to keep a low profile, but Rozier can't afford to ignore such a risky loose end. Chicago homicide detective Abe Lieberman and his partner Bill Hanrahan immediately suspect Rozier, but they have nothing on which to build a case. Kaminsky captures the sights and sounds of his Chicago setting most convincingly. He guides us through the police-procedural aspects of the plot smoothly, while depicting enough of Lieberman's and Hanrahan's personal lives to make them fully realized characters. Despite the fact that Kaminsky has three successful series of mystery novels running simultaneously, he consistently creates interesting plots and believable characters. Highly recommended.
