Critical reception [edit]
Regina Marler of the Los Angeles Times described the book as "not a page-turner but a page-lingerer" and that "French gives us a clear-eyed portrait of the Liberties as seen through a murder."[4] The book was nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Novel.
The book was nominated for the 2012 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.[5]
