I swear I clicked! 🤣😜🤦‍♀️

T'is I who thanks you! Writers who write good books that scratch that itch you didn't know needed scratching deserve all the thanks in the world!

I had such a blast with this book! I recommend it to anyone who loves Pratchett, Christie fun banter, and sleuthing, with a dash of necromancy on the side!

Lansdell has a firm grip on the pace and flow of the story, never letting it stagnate or go cold.

This remains a character driven story, about 2 people who are finding a new world where they're growing from their initial points and where they recognise and understand that growth. All while also navigating their relationship with each other.
