I když se žánrově pohybujeme ve vodách Young Adult, ani na vteřinu nebudete mít pocit, že by knížka něčím zaostávala za klasikami detektivního žánru. Já jsem hrozný strašpytel a tak jsem se místy opravdu bála, jestli na mě všechny ty popisy znetvořených ženských těl, či detailně vykreslená pitva, nebudou moc. Ale ne, Kerri Maniscalco umně zkombinovala detektivní prvky se skvěle napsanou romantikou.
