Industry Reviews
"Lady James, the grande dame of fictional forensic pathology,...here is writing in full mastery of her craft and in full indulgence of her predilections."
New York Times Book Review - Michael Malone
"Characters as deep and unknowable as the Thames...testifying to the complexity that generally sets James apart from her peers."
Straub
Intricate, riveting and also believable...A distinctive work of fiction...complex and superbly told...`Original Sin,' full of murderous content and disturbing subject matter..is both a satisfying mystery and edifying."
Straub
"`Original Sin,' emphasizes [James] reputation as the nonpareil of the literary mystery whose great talent is merging the old-fashioned whodunit with the novel of character. She transcends simple literary classification."
Straub
