"Bring on the Balkan Noir" - Quentin Bates "If you enjoy travelling the world virtually through your crime fiction, then Living Candles is the perfect book to convey the atmosphere of the Romanian urban environment. Or at least the murkier side of it: the blocks of flats where the neighbours all know each other's business, the pensioners gossiping on the bench outside the entrances, the machismo impregnating the atmosphere so thickly, you could cut it with a knife." - Marina Sofia, Findingtimetowrite, regular contributor to Crime Fiction
