Critics Review

‘The puzzle-like plot is constructed along classic Agatha Christie lines: it’s cute, funny, and a bit frantic, yet raises more serious questions about motherhood, identity and mental health as the novel progresses.’ * The Age *‘The smooth dialogue and deprecating humour carries the story, touching on mental health issues, disability and women’s poverty without becoming preachy.’ * ReadPlus *‘Kate Solly’s latest Fleck Parker mystery is as clever as it is charming – a winning, witty mix of kids, crafts, crime and quirky community antics. This series just keeps getting stronger.’ – Jane Tara‘Clever, witty – charm for days! Reading a new Kate Solly is the literary equivalent of coming home.’ – Emma Grey‘A delightful story interwoven with mystery, humour and real insight.

Kate’s books remind us that friendship and fun are the best antidote to a troubled world. This is the feel-good book we all need right now.

Add in a mystery and railways and it’s a winner.’ – Josephine Moon‘I devoured this book and loved every second of catching up with Fleck Parker – who, by now, feels like a dear friend. Kate Solly’s charming style of storytelling skilfully weaves amusing everyday moments, which make you laugh out loud, with mystery and intrigue, which keep you gripped.
