Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer Amazon Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Carole Mitchell. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Two cars collide on a winding cliff edge on the Irish coast. In one car is Finn with her baby daughter; in the other, Kathryn with her own daughter. Finn, whose mother just died, was on the way to meet her aunt, Maura, who lives in a remote cottage at the top of the cliff, appropriately named Misery Hill. Both women struggle with the aftermath of the accident, and only Maura knows the whole truth.
Go into this one as blind as possible to fully enjoy the twists and turns. We hear from all three women's points of view, including from Maura in the past. There are secrets galore and plenty of family dysfunction to go around. Both Finn and Maura are unreliable narrators because they were injured in the accident and aren't sure themselves of the truth. The setting was so atmospheric and added to the mystery of this book. I've been a huge fan of Mitchell's police procedurals; this book is different but I loved it as well.
