And why do the mysterious Gallimore family at nearby Pilgrim's Farm desperately want to get their hands on Elizabeth's cottage? Much against her better judgement, Lexy finds herself staying there alone. Glimpses of a strange black dog, purported to be a legendary hell hound, do nothing to ease her mind. Slowly, Lexy begins to discover the truth about Elizabeth Cassell's death, and the mystery at the heart of Pilgrim's Farm. Dark forces are not only at work - they’re positively running amok... *Into the prevailing noir of contemporary crime fiction Kaye C Hill brings a welcome splash of colour and humour. Simon Brett *British author Hill's smashing sequel to Dead Woman's Shoes (2008) avoids the usual cozy cliches in this cracking good read.US Publishers' Weekly (starred review) *In this sequel to Dead Woman’s Shoes (2008), Hill again shows a winning way with whimsical mystery. Michele Leber, Booklist *...what matters in this kind of semi-comic writing are the quality of the prose,in terms of humour, and of course the characterisation. In respect of both Hillmakes a very good start. The writing is clear and has good comic similes. The characters are enjoyable and manage to walk just the right side of the stereotypical, which is always the greatest challenge with this kind of writing. Best of all Hill manages to write very well and amusingly, and without whimsy, about various animals who play a large part in the narrative from Kinky downwards. They add enormously to the book's charm without ever becoming twee or chintzy.
