From the Bookshelf of Kiwi Readers…

[close] This book gripped me from the beginning. Such characters. So many potential murderers! I fell into the story and loved every page. There were hints of The Lovely Bones, but this book stands on its own.
You'll love the perspective the boy takes, and the imagery Rosetta Allan magics up from merely describing just one boot.
A fine book set in New Zealand by a New Zealand author.
