Críticas:

[The plot] is like opening up a Russian doll, and it's typical of Deaver's polished, clever entertainment * Sunday Telegraph * A head-spinning, clever cat-and-mouse tale that hurtles along at 100mph . . . Full of twists, turns, bluffs and double bluffs, it's an edge-of-the-seat read from beginning to end. * Sunday Express * At first this seems to be simply a superbly orchestrated chase novel . . . But then, as shock follows shock, a complex mystery unfolds, literally overnight. The plot twists are sudden, dazzling and unexpected, and climax in a breathtaking finale. * Scotsman * The Cold Moon has a superscription from William Faulkner, but this is not a book in the "literary" thriller genre. Deaver is not so much interested in tickling our aesthetic sensibilities as in raising our pulse rates, and he's doing that from the first chapter * Daily Express * Probably the best book he's written . . . Enough of Deaver's trademark twists to satisfy his most diehard fans . . . A great read * Observer *
