"A very special sort of mystery writer...Mystical, exotic and moodily ironic." -Kirkus Review
"A superlative mystery writer." -Time
"Mr. Van de Wetering's policemen are just as likely to ...marvel at human nature as to shoot it down" -The New York Times
"Mr. Van de Wetering's style might be compared to caviar...Once you're hooked, there's nothing like it." -San Diego Union
"Van de Wetering has plotted his cases satisfyingly well for those who relish the puzzle. But the puzzle element is not paramount. There is so much other entertainment...one of the most well-written, unusual, and entertaining series of the last few decades." -Armchair Detective
"What makes this series so engaging is that the policemen are as quirky and complicated and human as the criminals." -The Washington Post
"One of the masters of the mystery form." -The Los Angeles Times
