A deliciously creepy tale that will have readers needing to keep the light on at night . . .

Il suo lavoro è contraddistinto da un approccio singolare alla realtà, dove l'ordinario si intreccia con lo straordinario.
The beautiful seaside town of Fowey is not as idyllic as it might seem. The body of a young woman is discovered in the nets of a fishing boat. It is established that the woman was murdered. Most are shocked and horrified. But there is somebody who is not a 12-year-old girl. She is delighted; she loves murders. Soon she is questioning the inhabitants of the town in her own personal investigation. But it is a bit boring on her own. Then Miles Giffard, a similarly odd 12-year-old boy, arrives in Fowey with his mother, and they start investigating together. Oh, and also playing games that re-enact the murders. Just for fun, you understand. A book about two 12-year-olds that is definitely not for kids."
