Evil at Heart: a Review by The Oregonian

"Archie may be an even more compelling character than Gretchen. Together -- and Cain puts them together in ways you'll never forget -- they perform a dance you can't stop staring at no matter how much it horrifies you....the prose itself is as sharp as Gretchen's scalpel and as deftly wielded."
