    Summary

    Though the loss of its master was disastrous enough, the first true sign that all was not well at the Jinlintai came a fortnight after Jin Guangyao’s death.

    “They say that Jin-furen refuses to wear mourning,” Nie Huaisang said to Lan Xichen, when he visited Gusu in the wake of Jin Guangyao’s funeral. “What if—what if something’s wrong, Xichen-gege? She was devoted to San-ge, so why would she…”

    This was so far beyond belief that Lan Xichen dismissed Huaisang’s report at once. But he wrote to Qin Su that evening, asking her if all was well; and though he visited the mail-office nearly every day during the week that followed, he received no reply.

    In which something is rotten at the heart of Lanling, and Lan Xichen attempts—and fails—to discover what it might be.

    Summary

    When Grover first caught a whiff of Mr. Jackson’s scent, he knew something was up.

    Sure, the man looked normal enough from Grover’s brief glimpse of him through the windshield as Mrs. Jackson’s Toyota Prius trundled up the long driveway. He had sunburnt shoulders and was still wearing a pair of bright yellow bib-and-brace oilskins, like he’d just come back from his job on the fishing trawler.

    But once the car got close and Grover caught Mr. Jackson’s scent, all of Grover’s fur stood on end.

    Because beyond the sweat, salt, and dead fish he could pick up, there was a strangely synthetic human smell. It was sort of like how Fanta smelt like oranges. Which was to say - and a sharp stab of anxiety wormed its way into Grover’s heart at the thought - Mr. Jackson smelt like he was a fake human. Was Mr. Jackson a monster in disguise?
