About this ebook
Nominated for the British Science Fiction Award 2020
In Gareth L. Powell's Ragged Alice a detective in a small Welsh town can literally see the evil in people's souls.
Orphaned at an early age, DCI Holly Craig grew up in the small Welsh coastal town of Pontyrhudd. As soon as she was old enough, she ran away to London and joined the police. Now, fifteen years later, she’s back in her old hometown to investigate what seems at first to be a simple hit-and-run, but which soon escalates into something far deadlier and unexpectedly personal—something that will take all of her peculiar talents to solve.

I very much enjoyed this on the reread. This time I knew what to expect and was able to immerse myself in the story. The dialogue is very well-written, so much that I can hear the Welsh accents in my head and the plot is firmly anchored in the landscape. I like the nods to folk horror and there are some brilliant lines to find, like easter eggs amongst the prose. I'd love to read a prequel or sequel to this.
