From one edition of the paper to the next, the story covers a bumpy week of comings, goings and mysterious disappearances among the town’s locals and expatriates. Culture shock, complicated sex lives and strange transformations, with something very nasty simmering beneath the surface. In a small pond like this, it’s a fish-eat-fish world.
Full-length 85,000 word novel. If you liked Best Exotic Marigold Hotel this will make you laugh more, off-genre, very funny, assuming you take it black, and DRM free.
