Critic reviews

"While some crime fans won't go for the minimal detection...other readers will appreciate the author's incisive portrait of a black family's struggle with racism, powerlessness and their individual responsibilities to society." (Publishers Weekly)
"Carter...has a real talent for using city streets to help tell her stories." (Booklist)
