Welcome to Litsy!

Ready to get going

Local-to-me author, local-to-me setting. The idea of a thriller set in sleepy Sidmouth overrode the fact that I‘m not a fan of psychological thrillers, so this was a misguided must-read.

My main problem was that I didn‘t *believe* in the characters, & by the time we reached an explanation for their strangeness, I really didn‘t care. Having said that, the last 25% just kept twisting and there were so many things I really didn‘t see coming.

Kindle says 1 have 90 minutes left in this ARC. Let‘s see if I can do this skimming thing that some of you are so good at!

Or not. It‘s starting to rain ☔️

A thriller set in a small Devon coastal town (a town I love, tho the photos on my phone are weirdly limited!!). It was always going to go in one of two directions.

I‘m 25% in, and it‘s not going in the direction I was hoping for. Maybe it‘ll pick up 🤞🤞, but currently I‘m not really believing it and I don‘t really care. But it‘s a #readersfirst ARC by an author I‘d wanted to read for ages, so Onwards!

This was a really interesting read with a couple of good twists. One I figured out early on but the killers identity caught me out. This is well written and detailed. The story jumps between the present day and the past which works really well. The ending is very good and finishes the story off well. I wasnt sure about Flick at the beginning but as the story goes on you start to warm to her. 3*

I have mixed feelings about this fast paced thriller... told in then & now sections, a seaside community is once again shaken by the disappearance of a young woman. A wife & mother returns, haunted by the memories of the last time someone went missing & is determined to help. With wooden dialogue & undeveloped characters, it‘s only the twisting plot that redeems this one! It‘s a quick read that had me rolling my eyes but kept me turning pages.
