review 1: Set in England amongst the gypsy community, when a gypsy bride goes missing, her father engages a private detective with a gypsy heritage to investigate her disappearance 7 years ago. Told from two different view points, that of the detective and a 14 year old boy, in a chapter by chapter format, the story unfolds. A bit slow at times, but I didn't see the denouement, so good marks for that, as well as an interesting insight into the "travellers" community.
review 2: I haven't read Steff Penney's first book and I bought this one in a pound shop so wasn't expecting great things, but I really enjoyed it.I found the setting in the Romany community interesting and found all the characters compelling. I particularly liked JJ, the teenage boy who narrates about ha... morelf of the book. I also liked Ray, the private detective, who narrates the rest.The plot is clever and I didn't see the twist coming for a long time. When the reveal is made it's done well.A different kind of read and an enjoyable one. less
