Genre: Roman/Crime Thriller/Paranormal - so much going on!
My rating: Full marks 5*
So, I've found a book worthy of a review on my blog after a few books that weren't worthy, hence the radio silence.
I really did enjoy this book, there's certainly a lot of boxes ticked by it.
My review:
A town borrowed from Ancient Rome, magic, a murder mystery being solved by a sly Fox...what's not to like?
This book is very cleverly written.
A fictitious town which borrows influences from different parts of Roman history, and melded together to create an intriguing story.
A young man is murdered using dark magic, and Felix the Fox is hired to solve the mystery. He's a rather colourful character with just enough darkness to make him fascinating whilst still be likeable.
The reader is taken on a magical journey around beautiful islands and even into taverns and brothels. I enjoyed the hot baths especially.
The world and people Assaph Mehr creates come to life off the pages. I could almost smell the fish!
This is a really fab book. If you like whodunnits and/or paranormal/historic novels you should read this.
