The Cherry Blossom Murder โ€“ Fran Pickering

(CreateSpace, ยฃ7.99)

When a Tokyo-based Londoner finds a body under the blooming cherry blossom, she sets out to track down the killer and stop them striking again. This book is an enthralling romp through glitz, intrigue, theatre and sake, with a dash of the humble cup of tea โ€“ essential in any investigatorโ€™s kit.

Fran Pickeringโ€™s debut novel introduces British expat and amateur sleuth Josie Clark into the mysterious Japanese way of life. Her writing evokes the Eastern beauty of Japanโ€™s cherry blossoms and the concept of adapting to unfamiliar cultural norms.

This is perfect for escaping dreary winter weather.
