Many thanks to NetGalley, Tor Nightfire and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest book by the queen of twisty psychological horror, Catriona Ward and wonderfully narrated by Christopher Ragland and Katherine Fenton - 4 stars!
The synopsis from Goodreads...In a lonely cottage overlooking the windswept Maine coast, Wilder Harlow begins the last book he will ever write. It is the story of his childhood summer companions and the killer that stalked the small New England town. Of the body they found, and the horror of that discovery echoing down the decades. And of Sky, Wilder’s one-time best friend, who stole his unfinished memoir and turned it into a lurid bestselling novel, Looking Glass Sound. But as Wilder writes, the lines between memory and fiction blur. He fears he’s losing his grip on reality when he finds notes hidden around the cottage written in Sky’s signature green ink.
I don't typically use synopsis blurbs, but this book makes it difficult to review without giving anything away. As typical with a Ward novel, you'll have to concentrate and work through this book, but it's always worth it because she is so good at walking you down one road, only for you to realize that it was a very different road indeed. It's creepy, magical, fascinating, and above all, creative and wonderfully written.
