"He is as weird as the world. And for some readers, that's a quality to cherish. It's as if Nisbet inhabited and wrote from a world right next to ours, only weirder."
–Rick Kleffel, bookotron.com
"Missing any book by Nisbet should be considered a crime in all 50 states and maybe against humanity."
–Bill Ott, Booklist
"With Nisbet, you know you can expect anything and you're never disappointed."
–Le Figaro
"Jim Nisbet is a poet... [who] resembles no other crime fiction writer. He mixes the irony of Dantesque situations with lyric narration, and achieves a luxuriant cocktail that truly leaves the reader breathless."
–Drood's Review of Mysteries
