In the Dark

Oh this was so good! I have a few books by this author downloaded but this is the first I've read and now I want to immediately go and read the others.

The main plot being a isolated murder mystery, directly referencing Agatha Christie's ‘And Then There Were None', it was taught, tense and chilling. I loved the atmosphere of the cold Canadian wilderness and back and forth of the short alternating chapters.

This really struck a chord with me, as I have a one year old son, so I felt every emotion intended with the back story of a child being killed in a hit and run which is the catalyst for the events of the story. I couldn't even begin to imagine.

I hope she turns this into a series as I'd happily read about Mason and Callie again!

(Major trigger warnings for death of a child, amongst other things)

This book was actually fantastic. I loved it takes place in Canada (my home country). The setting was beautiful, suspenseful, and atmospheric. It was brilliantly written and paced. The characters intriguing and well fleshed out. The mystery, although very well done overall, had a touch of predictability to it. Never the less, it was a cracking excellent read, and I definitely would recommend it.
