Rounded down from around 4.5 stars ⭐️
A woman made of snow flicks between two generations of a family. Caroline moves to Kelly Castle with her husband and daughter. However, the wife of an ancestor seems to have been wiped from history. Soon a body is found, can Caro work out these mysteries?
I absolutely loved this book! I have never before read anything quite like this. I am always drawn to a good mystery novel but this one was unique. I particularly loved the sections involving the Arctic and Inuit. It was so full of atmosphere and taught me so much that I did not already know. I found myself devouring the book and felt so moved by some of Elisabeth’s words. There are some really beautiful quotes woven through this novel.
I have two small niggles that dropped the star rating for me slightly. Firstly, there was initially a spooky/ghostly feel to the book that was soon dropped and wasn’t picked up again, which I was a little disappointed with. Secondly, I initially really did not like the character of Caro. I cannot pinpoint why but I just really couldn’t connect to her. This did eventually change and by the end I liked Caro, she seemed to grow as a character which I appreciated. Overall, I didn’t like the ending…because I desperately wanted the book to continue. I was gutted to have to put this one down!
I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys a good mystery novel. This is particularly great to read during the festive period!
