Wow what a rollercoaster! Was a diffcult read to begin with because of the topic of suicide which took someone very special to me 💔
I did nearly bail but so glad I carried on because I loved it. Such a great book with a fantastic ending. Not read a bad Tremayne book yet!

Finished this today. A very atmospheric, gripping and in parts highly eerie read. Vivid, beautiful landscape descriptions of the bogs and tors and tiny villages of Dartmoor in foggy nights and a coherent plot combine to a great psychological thriller. I flew through the last third of the book. Best read on a dark, stormy night. 😋 4/5*

Another impromptu bookhaul... The result of a five minutes' browse through the bargain section of my favourite local bookstore. 😅

Lost girls by Angela Marsons, the tagged book and Cranes fly early by Chingiz Aitmatov - my first book by a Kyrgyz author 🤓

I loved the previous books by this author and was able to get a copy of this one super cheap on Book Depository! Maybe I‘ll actually find the time to read this one in the next year or so but....🤷🏼‍♀️

This was a brilliant novel, in the dark and atmospheric setting of a Dartmoor winter. I love S.K. Tremayne‘s voice - she paints really believable, flawed characters and always manages to weave an interesting narrative with plenty of twists and turns. I enjoyed this even more than ‘The Ice Twins‘, which has a similarly sinister, atmospheric backdrop. Highly recommended!

Time for a new book! I really enjoyed ‘The Ice Twins‘, so I‘m expecting this to be a decent read. I‘m stuck in my bed for the next two weeks, recovering from surgery...I‘m so grateful for books and films right now! 😊

Buechersuechtling I hope, it‘s a planned recovery, (meaning that the surgery went well and that you knew beforehand about the two weeks of bedrest). 💐 I also hope that you can enjoy the downtime with lots of good reading and/or suspensive audiobooks‼️ Feel better soon because without pain reading time 📚 is much more pleasant and joyful. 4y
CaseyLea @Buechersuechtling Thanks for your kind words! Yes, it was a planned surgery for endometriosis. I seem to be in more pain today, but I find reading to be an excellent distraction! 😊 4y

I get a bit fed up of generic thrill-less thrillers so this one made a nice change. While not hugely original or inventive it is solidly entertaining and actually does what it says on the tin - thrills! Writing is tight, plot moves on nicely, plenty of suspicion, misdirection & suspense. Fantastically evoked setting adds to creepiness. Denouement had me eating my knuckles - great fun! 😳

Ms_T Great review! 5y

So, Chapters doesn‘t carry this one on their site or in store. I bought the ice twins and the fire child but they don‘t carry this one :/ *sigh* #Sktremayne #bibliophile #booknerd #bookworm
