Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer Amazon Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest stand-alone thriller by Caroline Mitchell - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Claire and her husband, Daniel, and their daughter, Kitty, take refuge in Daniel's boyhood home located on remote Selkie Island off the Ireland coast. Claire, a doctor, is devastated by guilt over the loss of a child in her care and Daniel hopes the island can provide her with time to heal. But Claire can't escape the secrets that the house and Daniel's family hold tight - Daniel's parents were lost at sea and the history of the goings-on at the house linger. When Kitty goes missing, Claire's world crumbles even farther.
Wow - this was such a creepy, atmospheric novel and the setting was a huge part of the plot. The house is full of past ghosts and the family has kept so many secrets. Told in two different timelines, we learn about Daniel's family and what was really going on inside their home. But the twists - wow - they kept coming and I was shocked. You've got to add this to your reading list!
