Media Reviews

"Built on an enchanting setting and a compelling protagonist, DEATH IN LACQUER RED does not have a quick plot, but rather a logical and satisfying one. To rush this book is to miss its quiet humour and its compassion: it's meant to be savoured, not devoured."

First Line

Well, look at that, will ye!"
