A whodunit with feelings so BIG they seep out.

Meet Rodrick Gray, PI…

Rod Gray isn’t your average small-town detective. He can see emotions — they bloom around people like living gardens of the soul, full of strange weather and stranger creatures. It’s a noisy way to walk through life but it helps him see what others can’t.

There’s one soul garden he’s never wanted to enter. A killer’s.

Until now. When the richest man in Two Lakes, Minnesota turns up dead in a blizzard, suspicion lands on Rod’s childhood friend Clementine Baker. To clear her name, Rod must learn what murder looks like in the soul. But his own feelings keep getting underfoot and time is running out.

Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library meets The Thursday Murder Club and Inspector Gamache. A genre-bending 1980s whodunit of snow, small-town secrets, and a whole lot of tangled feelings.
