‘It takes a steady hand to appropriate the world's most famous detective, but Chabon has chutzpah to spare.' Independent‘Chabon gives the reader a tantalising taste of what he's capable of.' Andrew Roberts, New Statesman‘Chabon’s gift as a writer is the fatal facility to make anything pleasant in the telling, and “The Final Solution” is further evidence of that talent.’ Daily Telegraph‘His thoughtful, intricate prose pays handsome tribute to all those ‘tec stories and sleuth yarns…“The Final Solution” is an evocation of the addictive properties of detection and an elegy for its glory days.’ Word Magazine‘On par with the best, most tightly written sections of Chabon's last novel, the marvelous “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay”…exceptional.’ New York Times Book Review‘One of the best-written American novels published this fall… an experiment by a master.’ The New York Sun
