"In addition to characterizing all the principals, Millar brings the missing man to life for us, both by what the others say and by the skillful use of flashback. And when the end comes in a single, brilliant revelation, the reader is convinced that indeed beyond that point there are monsters." - Pronzini and Muller, 1001 Midnights, The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction, pp. 575-576.
