Customer Reviews

a crime novel with a spiritual dimension
I first came across Wetering's books by chance a few years ago. As crime mysteries this one (and the other couple I have read) do not work that well. They do provide the scene for one of the most interesting pairs of literary detectives I have come across. Reading this book was great fun, the plot is there enough to keep you reading the dialog is excellent. For those looking for crime fiction not so interested in puzzles or psycobabble into decidedly odd charactors minds then this book could be for you. A gentle crime novel with real charactors and a slight spiritualistic element I found to be rather plesant.
A good book but perhaps considering its shortness not all that great value for money
