Jimm is trying to balance her investigation into the disappearance of two local women against a new romance with a charming foreign author, who is obsessed with axes, supposedly research for his latest crime novel. But as the oddities and threats pile up, Jimm discovers that her eccentric family is not the most challenging thing with which she has to deal. Excellent plotting, an exotic setting, understated humor, and memorable characters all add up to a gem of a story. Kim Mai Guest continues as narrator from the second installation (Grandad, There's a Head on the Beach) and leaves the listener with little doubt that anyone could be better for the role.
VERDICT Cotterill is internationally known for a reason: his unforgettable stories. This will appeal to fans of the series and to fans of K.J. Larson's Cat deLuca mysteries or Lisa Lutz's "Spellman Files."
