‘Dorothy Cameron’s novels remain quite fresh and readable, not only because they are fast-paced but also because the major characters are full drawn and believable... The surprising note for the period, and for the white-collar, upper-middle class milieu Disney favors, is that the women of the novels, in spite of hats, hats, gloves, dresses, and apparently conventional attitudes, are liberated. Her females are actresses, doctors, successful businesswomen, civil servants – and villains.’ – Neysa Chouteau, Martha Alderson, Twentieth-Century Crime and Mystery Writers.
