Sanderson, Mark. "The best crime fiction for March 2021 — bombs in Glasgow and high-rise hostage-taking". The Times. ISSN 0140-0460 . Retrieved 28 June 2021. Umiko Wada is a secretary to a private detective in Japan. She's happy in her life, not looking for any excitement or something truly out of the ordinary. But life has other plans. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I hope that Wada finally finished her reread of ‘The Makioka Sisters’. It is a great thriller that doesn’t always take it self too seriously but entertains and thrills at the same time. He's the high priest of plot ... deftly woven, but also beautifully written ... I loved it' Mel Giedroyc

I really love Umiko Wada. She has a strong personality. Umiko Wada is an incredible character. I felt more engaging with her. Chapter after chapter, her character developed became more interesting and resourceful. Overall though, it’s a good, intelligent thriller with plenty of meat on the bones of the plot. I’ve read a lot of books by Robert Goddard over the years and enjoyed them and this is no exception.

Umiko Wada lives in Tokyo, she wants to live an unassuming life, she doesn’t want excitement she just wants to get through the day without any hassle. She works for a private detective and as exciting as this may sound her days are anything but. However all this changes one day when a client comes in to the office, their case needs someone to go to London, someone who wont ring alarm bells and that someone is Wada. Have to admit that I gave up this book a long time ago as I just could not get into it at all. Years later I was determined to try again and am so glad that I did.Having not read this author before I didn't know what to expect but from the cover thought it might be a gentler mystery though not a cosy as such. What I got was an intelligently written, gripping tale that's very readable despite the complications of the plot. I heard a lot of good things about Robert Goddard. This is my first book from him. In his latest book, The Fine Art of Invisible Detection tells a story of Umiko Wada who is a secretary to a private detective Kazuro Kodaka. She tries to find put the truth behind some tragic event happened in 1977. She was unexpectedly sent to London by her boss on a murder case. This book is totally a clever and kept me guessing from beginning to end.
