Review:
"A fun, twisty mystery for both film buffs and crime fiction lovers, and the final revelation is satisfying." —Publishers Weekly
"He knows his way around both history and crime stories. Geary is also possessed of a unique and charming art style, something I've dubbed 'faux woodcut,' which makes everything he draws look like it's lifted from some magical era of the past that never really existed, but should have." —Andrew A. Smith, Tribune News Service
"Immensely satisfying. This is a work of incredible efficiency, and one that would be difficult to apply the coincidences that really aren’t, symmetries and parallels to a bit of true crime." —J. Caleb Mozzocco, robot6.comicbookresources.com
"Geary excels at making Louise Brooks: Detective a ton of fun." —John Eisler, Rain Taxi
