Industry Reviews "This most accomplished mystery author has stepped sideways, adding to her mastery of the thriller genre a whole new mode: zany comedy....Make no mistake, SOUTHERN CROSS is every bit as good a read as its darker predecessors in the Cornwell canon....[The] story races along with true comic zest, and in its interlacing of simultaneous plot threads it gives the maestros of farcical plotting a run for their money."
