With the help of Kayo’s mother and some local friends, they gather evidence while dodging hotheaded detectives and another dead body. But time is running out and the murderer has everything they need to bury the evidence and deflect suspicion onto someone else.

Praise

“This was such a fun read. It’s amazing how Pajonas manages to fit everything in this fun novella length story without it feeling rushed. We follow familiar characters Mei, Akiko and Kayo to Kayo’s home town in this story. There’s a festival, a well done murder mystery, new side characters and more. It’s a great read that works well as continuation of the series as well as for people new to series as it can work nicely as standalone. There are almost no spoilers for earlier books, but fans of the series will understand a bit more about the situations they hint and talk about in this book. The mystery was a good one and kept me guessing for quite a bit… All in all this is a treat for fans of the series and also works great as a standalone read for those new to this series.” – Lola, Lola's Reviews
