“…a complex, well-constructed plot and magnificent descriptions of the Australian scenery. It also has a cast of fascinating characters, who are beautifully drawn and skillfully developed, as the book explores, with subtlety and insight, the near impossibility of taking a person totally away from their roots, both in speech and thoughts.” Carol Westron, Promoting Crime Fiction
“The trusting partnership between Cait and Bud is one of the appeals of The Corpse with the Opal Fingers, along with the multi-layered characters and an understanding of relationship dynamics. This is very evident in the interchanges between Cait and her sibling, Siân. It is that realistic blend of prickliness and fierce loyalty. Cathy Ace has a good understanding of human nature and this is evident in her writing. The Corpse with the Opal Fingers is an entertaining Agatha Christie-style whodunnit and a great way to do some armchair travelling.” crimefictionlover.com
