"There's no sign of The Shadow in this story. No sly reference. No passing comment. Nothing. It's as if The Shadow didn't exist, except for the name on the masthead of the magazine. What could the editors at Street & Smith could have been thinking? Had they no clue what their readers expected? And these were supposed to be seasoned businessmen and women.
If you're looking for a Shadow story... this ain't it. If you're looking for just a good mystery... this ain't it, either. Even if you try to look at this as strictly a murder mystery having nothing to do with The Shadow, it still fails. On any level, it's a story that will waste your time when you have better ways to spend it." - The Shadow in Review
