"Margaret Maron is one of those authors whose devoted fans would follow them anywhere." (New York Times)

“A tangle of relationships tests Harald’s abilities to ferret out...the killer’s intended victim—and why. If this is indeed Maron’s final book, as she has announced, she is quitting while still in top form.”  (Publishers Weekly starred review)

"Both mysteries are satisfying, but you read a Maron mystery for the rich back stories of her main characters as much as for the whodunit, and she doesn’t disappoint here." (Raleigh News and Observer)

"'Take Out' shows a master at the top of her game, with a slim, sleek, flavorful police procedural that ought to leave fans hungry for more." (Wilmington StarNews)
