Reception

[edit]

The Guardian stated that "Vine's great talent is in making sure that we care" but that "When it comes to the animate, however, Vine's touch is sometimes less sure."[2] Entertainment Weekly rated it an A−, writing that "As do all Barbara Vine novels, the well-wrought mystery Grasshopper has a lot lurking below its carefully composed surface".[3]
