Even the rabbits that her room mate bring home don’t like Jessica.Īnd whilst Jessica’s room mate might be a bit of an oddity, Jessica quite OK with that. She regularly brings home stray animals that don’t like Jessica.
However, the trajectory that this little firecracker takes from there is ace!Īt the begining of the story, we meet Jessica, a part time store assistant at a hardware store who also has a room mate, who is a bit strange and a little bit annoying. The story starts out as any good story should – with a Murder!Īll good stories start with a murder, it brings that little bit of p’zazz to a story! Gets it off the ground with a bang! The Man and The Crow is my Gateway into Rebecca Crunden’s writing and I have to say – I like it! Well, as Morrissey says ‘How Soon is Now’ – pretty damned soon, I’ll tell you Mozzer!

Having just read this book in one sitting I found myself enthralled by page 4 where the story unexpectedly flips and takes the reader on a journey of folklore, witchcraft and murder. A short sharp enjoyable tale of magic and the unexpected…
