Reviewing the novel for the Times Literary Supplement, Maurice Willson Disher wrote "There was a time when a mystery of crime detection could be casually introduced into novels as an episode. Unfortunately for Mr. Bude readers nowadays feel disappointed if a detective story does not run true to form. When the identity of his murderer ceases to be a mystery about half way through, we may feel, no doubt unfairly, that the author has simply been unable to keep it up." and concluded "Any strain upon the intellect slackens page by page".
