A darkly twisted detective ghost tale, from the winner of the Guardian Children’s Book Prize.
Davie travels his small town in search of a supposed murderer. But the landscape soon starts to blur into something dark and twisted.
He must make sense of the landscape, if he has any chance of finding answers. The people he encounters on his travels don’t seem entirely real either. Then he meets the victim of the murder … but, is he dead, or alive?

I really really enjoyed this book, I thought it was a bit creepy at first but it got less scary

It is an interesting book with a bit a slang and mystery along the way. My favourite character was the main figure, Davie , whose dad is dead.

A lovely book full of good vocabulary and a warming tale. This book is about a boy who lives in the beautiful welsh mountains. One of the people in his area is murdered and it is his job to find out who. I like this book because some of my family are from Wales and it has made me appreciate the amazingness of the countryside. I would recommend this for 9 - 12 year olds who love nature and a mystery.

Nah. Just nah. This book was pretty boring. It was also confusing as the letters were all jumbled up. Bad book. Sorry!
