A review by nigellicus
The House on Vesper Sands by Paraic O'Donnell

adventurous dark funny mysterious tense

5.0

All the characters seem ever-so-slightly larger than life, especialy the inspector, as does the plot, kicked off when a seamstress sews a message nto her own body then jumps through a window. It all turns low-key, and seamlessly, into something with supernatural elements, but honestly a lot of the dialogue is the main attraction.
