White Rabbit

Sometimes the shadows that haunt us are what lead us back to the light Disgraced former police detective James Draygo has sunk as low as his habit allows working as a fake psychic despite his very real talents. When a media moguls trashy trophy wife gets gunned down at his tapping table he has to decide whether he can straighten up long enough to save his own skin. He may not have a choice with Essexs loudest ghost bawling in his ear about cults conspiracies and cut-rate drugs. Oblivion sounds better all the time... Best Selling Crime Writer Richard & Judy Summer Read Winner James Oswald on White Rabbit: Being a fan of mashing up genres myself I was of course delighted to see someone else playing fast and loose with things. The central idea of the story - a real psychic pretending to be a fake - is delicious too. The mystery was deftly played with just the right balance of action and character interplay to keep me turning the pages. The seedy side of London is nicely worked as well - not too threatening as befits the style of book but still gritty enough. The cast of supporting characters are nicely drawn too. Kate writes with a fluid easy to read style.
