A well-executed plot with an atmospheric setting.
At first, I still wasn't too sure about it as not my usual genre. The front cover doesn't give much away, although, I could tell it was going to be spooky. And I was right.
The first part of the book is a little busy with the introduction of several characters and the backstory which at times felt forced in relation to the actual story. Switching between the two main characters, who seemed unrelated at times requires some creative guessing and I found the need for it to come together frustrating in places.
I did persevere and I am really happy I did. The plots come together and for the most part are believable, accurate and well-developed. I loved Jasper, the retired police dog and he really made the story enjoyable.
With so many revelations at the end - it was hard not to be shocked. If you enjoy a hearty, compelling mystery which will have you on the edge of your seat... please read this book!
