The Inheritance Reviews
"While Tolkien, the grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien, could've done a better job of hiding the clues pointing to the real culprit, fans of English courtroom dramas will be satisfied." - Publishers Weekly
"This intricate story, which includes a distant father, the hunt for a religious artifact, and much detail about British society and its justice system, is a bit overambitious. However, it moves quickly, and the motives of the characters provide energy and drive to what turns out to be an absorbing 1950s-era mystery." - Library Journal
"Starred Review. Written with great surety and absolutely compelling." - Booklist
"Competently done, but largely forgettable. " - Kirkus Reviews

I thought this book was adequate at best. Predictable and way too much narrative--not enough dialogue or action. If his name weren't Tolkien, I don't think it would have been published.
