The Chatham School Affair ranks with his best." -Chicago Tribune"Such a seductive book." -The New York Times Book Review"Like the best of his crime-writing colleagues, Cook uses the genre to open a window onto the human condition . . . [a] literate, compelling novel." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
