Fascinating, quirky and thoroughly creepy at times! Great twists, in plot, people and taxidermy!

Discovering a new author is always wonderful – to find a back-list is even better! The first in the Rei Shimura Series it’s gutsy and funny and just a little bit relatable to those who have lived there as a Gaijin!
So enjoyable. A little heavier than cosy, more twisty than you expect, but a great light read for immediate escapism!
So excited to be able to pick up one of her books, as I’ve been eyeing them off for some time in the local bookstore. What a read – capturing characters and conflict so well, you’re shaking the drops of water and sand from the pages as you read!
It was awesome! Delightfully different in a way that had me holding out finishing it, simply because it was so enjoyable.
Whereas before I could almost guess where everything is going, the last couple of books have had a refreshing and tiny twist. Enjoyable, utterly human, with giggle out loud moments!
It’s cosy, and it’s fun! A market village that finds itself the centerpiece of macabre sacrificial murders and a mixed up, slightly kooky and nosy main character, returning to the familial home, where all is changing .
How good is it to see a main kid’s character called Tanya!
She’s not perfect, but neither is the world she lives in … She sees fairies, but she’s not allowed to say a word. No-one’s life would be in danger if the grown-ups had just stopped keeping secrets from her!
What a cracker! Gritty, unforgiving, and … a masterful new world! I want more…
When you’d rather not see what is in front of you, what are you capable of believing? Capturing a small, isolated and insular community beautifully, it’s a brilliant story; easy to read and and, unfortunately, easy to imagine.
