Reception
Laura Miller in Salon magazine calls Death In The City Of Light better than Erik Larson's The Devil In The White City, saying of it: "landing just shy of setting a new standard for the form."[3] Kirkus Reviews sums up its response as follows: "The author’s successful transition into the true-crime genre—expertly written and completely absorbing."[4]
