Summary

When Matt Johansson, a young New York actor, auditions for Chapel of Ease, an off-Broadway musical, he is instantly charmed by Ray Parrish, the show's writer and composer. As their friendship deepens, Matt learns that Ray's people call themselves the Tufa and that the musical is based on the history of his isolated hometown. But there is one question in the show's script that Ray refuses to answer: What is buried in the ruins of the Chapel of Ease?

As opening night approaches, strange things begin to happen. A dreadlocked girl follows and spies on Ray. At the press preview, a strange Tufa woman warns him to stop the show. Then, as the rave reviews arrive, Ray dies in his sleep.

Matt and the cast are distraught, but there's no question of shutting down, and the run quickly sells out. Matt volunteers to take Ray's ashes back to Needsville, where he hopes to understand more about the play and uncover the secret that Ray took to his grave.

Matt's journey into the haunting Appalachian mountains of Cloud County sets him on a dangerous path, where some secrets deserve to stay buried.

Another wonderful instalment...

Another adventure in this remarkable and original series featuring fairies in modern America. I love the premise, how each book builds and expands our knowledge of the history and culture of the mysterious tufa, without any infodumps. The blend of action, humour and tragedy is masterfully handled. In this adventure, I particularly enjoyed Matt's journey and the icing on the cake is Stefan Rudnicki's marvellous narration. Highly recommended for those who enjoy their contemporary fantasy with a twist of difference.
9/10
