The book

A tale of mortifying heartbreak, momentous love, horrifying deaths and delicious apfel kuchen, in which a spider-eating old man and the local doctor form an unlikely alliance, fate unites a heartbroken baker and a euphonium, the most beautiful girl and boy in the village find love, and the town's least effective policeman, with a little help from a dog called Hans, exposes a crime so grotesque that it will shock the nation.

The Reviews

Totally sick and brilliant, in all the right ways. He sucks you into his world. I loved it.
Douglas Coupland

Rhodes is that real, rare thing - a natural storyteller.
