- Book #1 in the series, The Appraisal, was nominated for the Staunch Prize. This is awarded to a thriller in which no woman is beaten, stalked, sexually exploited, raped, or murdered and was launched to offer an alternative narrative to stories based around violence against women.
- “Porter’s offbeat thriller yields tension and humor from its revolving perspectives as well as its deep bench of colorful supporting characters …This peppy thriller from Porter bursts with banter and tantalizes the reader with half-revelations and game-changing twists.” — Kirkus Reviews on The Appraisal
- Porter’s heroine Helena Marsh will appeal to readers of Kate Atkinson’s Jackson Brody series and invites comparisons with the political thrillers of Alan Furst and Joseph Kanon.

“Porter takes readers on an exhilarating ride.” — Publishers Weekly
“The plot proceeds in the usual Anna Porter fashion, offering sleuthing that is sophisticated, nervy and hardly ever on an even keel.” — Toronto Star
“Intricate and atmospheric … Porter’s plots are a deft and entertaining blend of caper, crime, and thriller elements, but it’s this context as well as their setting — primarily Hungary, a place where, as one observer remarks, ‘the present was so deeply rooted in the past, it was not even the past’ — that gives them their rich texture and unexpected depth.” — Canadian Notes & Queries
