Industry Reviews
"This is a vigorous and entertaining story: the plot is simple, the pace is quick and the denouement is satisfying. Brett foreshadows and expands the action through the illustrative inserts on each spread, providing a multitude of places to feast the eye....Those seeking a less Santa-oriented holiday saga will settle happily in here."
