"Mr. Oppenheim is a capital storyteller who weaves intricate plots, contrives unexpected situations, admits to his confidence only by gentle and premeditated degrees, keeps a firm hold on his characters and incidents, and compels the absorbed attention of his readers....Each novel that appears from his pen reveals his versatile originality and the wide range of his dramatic ability. He can plan a successful climax, but he can also invest with charm a simple scene or incident. He is one of the most readable among the present novelists who depend on plot and incident rather than on character study." -The Unitarian Register, Volume 84, 1905
"There is no more competent and attractive exponent of present-day romance. Few writers have an equal power of prompt fascination. His very first page casts a spell; each final passage in his stories leaves the reader thoroughly satisfied with the entertainment." -Dundee Advertiser
"Deserves all praise, being full of colour, action and realism." -Morning Leadership
"The story is ingeniously imagined and cleverly wrought out. Mr. Oppenheim has the gift of invention and keeps his readers on the tenter-hooks of suspense." -Globe
"Mr. Oppenheim keeps his readers on the alert from the cover to cover, and the story is a fascinating medley of romance and mystery." -Daily News
"As a story-teller he has reached the highest mark yet registered." -Baltimore Sun
