The Flower Arranger

By: J. J. Ellis

Narrated by: Hanako Footman

An astonishing and evocative debut from a new voice in crime fiction.

Holly Blain wants to cover real news. The entertainment beat - pop stars and teen trends - was not why she moved to Tokyo. When she meets Inspector Tetsu Tanaka, head of Tokyo’s Metropolitan Police’s Gaikoku-jin unit, it might just be her big break. Tanaka isn’t so sure. Always one to do things by the book, he’s hesitant about bringing this headstrong reporter into his carefully controlled investigation. But young women keep disappearing, and Tanaka is given no choice. He and Blain must trust each other if they are to stop a tormented killer from bringing his twisted plan to its shocking conclusion.

Filled with twists and turns, this unforgettable thriller is J. J. Ellis’ first novel.

It coud’ve been great

Like: the story behind the murders and murderer, the main detective & his sidekick
Dislike: the reporter, details that didn’t do anything to help the story - the band, the girlfriend, the american, etc.

This novel would make for a great film.

The author tried too hard with creating holly’s image, trying to make her cool with all these cringe details.
