pickWales. A police detective with an unusual gift transfers back to her family town and immediately has to deal with a string of murders. There's a personal connection, breadcrumbs leading to the solution, some paranormal twists. An interesting setting and simple but neat plot.
Nothing special, but I liked it.
3.5/5
pickAt 208 pages and a paranormal crime thriller, this book will pack a quick punch and knock you back into reading. I wish it had been longer, I want more of Holly Craig! It also clocks in at just a couple hours and was just published yesterday! .

Set in Wales, this is a detective story with fantasy elements. I enjoyed people reacting to things with "ach y fi" and saying "nos da"; I enjoyed the little hints at Welsh-English speech patterns in the dialogue. (Remind me to tell the anecdote of the Welsh undertaker called David/Dafydd.)
The plot itself got kind of meh: it felt too easily solved, and yet the ritualistic murder method wasn't explained.
