Literature, England, Cute Dogs, Sex, Murder, Ghosts, and Witches?! This book went in directions I did not anticipate, in all the best ways. I had just come off a string of DNF books—you know the kind, after having read a particularly brilliant book and then struggling to find anything that compares. I am happy to report that this book broke my dry spell, and was everything I didn’t know I needed. Brilliant and not too fluffy, the story progresses at a medium-fast pace. Told through multiple viewpoints, you get a different perspective on the story as a whole, throughout. I’m going to try another from this author next.
