First off I have to tell you, I loved Land of Shadows! It was on my syllabus for my English class and this was the last book we read for the class. It was the best way to end the class, saving the best for last. I am actually writing a paper on the "Crase Crime Scene" and made a diorama of that particular scene. I was curious if you might have a comment about that particular scene? What was going through your mind?

Hey, Jessica!
Thanks so much for reading Land of Shadows -- very happy that you enjoyed it! The Crase Crime Scene: as I imagined and wrote it, I wanted the setting to reflect the city's growth, Lou visiting her own sister's fate, a mix of old and new (the plot of land where the condos were built used to be something else), the condos themselves are a mix of house/apartment, the victim to be a woman-child -- nothing can be classified as one thing, contradictions in some ways. Hope that makes sense. If not, let me know! Thanks for asking.
Best,
Rachel
