"This is Mrs. Eberhart's second mystery story, and it is even
better than her first."—New York Times
"It has all the ingredients of a first rate thriller. Federie
House, with its sombre ruggedness on an almost deserted road, with
its mysterious turrets, its darkened draperies, its heavily
carpeted floors, and its sinister occupants, is an almost perfect
setting for a mystery story."—Saturday Review of Literature
"This book places detective fiction on a higher level than ever
before."—Bookman
"Eerie it is, as eerie can be, and a good yarn to boot."—Outlook
