“There are no words to convince you that The Event of my Demise is something you should not miss. It's so much better, deeper, heavier and more emotional than anything I could say. And although I like to think that I know words and that they are my domain, this novel exceeds all praise and recommendation.“

Gypsy, But the Fairest of Them All by Kristian Novak is strictly speaking a crime novel, with a central enigma of brutal murders of several Johns Doe – because victims without faces are hard to identify – and an overarching investigation. But don’t be too quick to label it, because this is a thriller as much as Crime and Punishment.
