'This series continues to hold me in its thrall; The Kitchen is another intense, stylish and compulsive read by this most original, outstanding author'

#TheKitchen by Simone Buchholz trs Rachel Ward

UNMISSABLE #CrimeFiction

*squeals*

'Simone Buchholz's gritty, whip-smart narrative is electrifyingly noir-ish and Rachel Ward's seamless translation captures not just the words but the distinctive rhythm of the prose'

#TheKitchen Simone Buchholz #translator Rachel Ward

OUT NOW!

YES!

'Simone Buchholz is more concerned with considering the personal cost of crime and although her writing is frequently caustically witty, The Kitchen is a sharply penetrative look at the abuse, intimidation and sexual violence inflicted on women'

#TheKitchen @ohneklippo

'When the body parts of a man are found in a bin bag in the River Elbe, Chas has a new investigation on her hands but even after more men are found murdered, clearly by the same perpetrator, Chastity struggles to fully engage'

#TheKitchen Simone Buchholz t Rachel Ward

👀

'Chas is preparing for the upcoming trial of three sex traffickers who targeted Romanian girls with promises of fantastic jobs as dancers, waitresses and au pairs but on arrival in Hamburg, they were relieved of their passports and made to work in backstreet brothels'

'There is nobody who writes like Simone Buchholz and in The Kitchen she once again throws out the crime fiction rulebook'

BRILLIANT review of Simone Buchholz' #TheKitchen t Rachel Ward

OUT NOW!

My daughter works in the same school as me. After a recent TA re-juggling, Mrs Cole and Miss Cole are now both in Reception on Fridays. One of the little girls said she saw us walking to work this morning,
'Cole and Cole, two Coles. Like alcohol.' 🤣

My dad died three years ago today. He was a working class man who left school at 14 and worked in a factory until he retired but he told us his 'Thinking Stories' at night, shared my love of nature and history, and always gave us his time and unconditional love. I miss him.
