Picked up this novel, one because it’s NZ and I need to read more local, secondly because it’s a mystery and I don’t usually read crime novels, and lastly because of the blurb on the back “the chin tattoo confirms the victim is maori. the whorls of ink from her lower lip to her chin - the moko - is worn only by maori women. So her ethnicity is a given.” just reads sooo “can’t think of the right word”
