Camilla is the daughter of famous Swedish author Viveca Sten so the writing pedigree is impressive from the off!Īnd what did happen to the entire village of Silvertjarn. Brilliantly paced and executed, I really enjoyed this. I was captivated throughout as the writing is sharp and compelling. The book has a whisper of Steven King, Neil Spring and CJ Tudor. ![]() They were in a ghost town, and I was on my sofa, but that’s the skill of the author creating such a vivid and evocative experience. I had to put the radio on at this point as I’d been reading it in silence and I found myself listening out for noises like the characters in the book. Slowly and creepily making each hair on the back of your neck stand up on end…… What I really liked about this novel is that Alice’s family have links to this village and it’s through these flashbacks that the whole story comes to light. ![]() There’s also a very charming pastor and a suspicious series of events surrounding what can only be described as a cult. So, who better than her to find out what really happened that day 60 years ago? She takes a team of people with her and they spend their time there, observing, watching and waiting…… She’s a documentary filmmaker who’s heard every story under the sun about the mysteries and legends surrounding this town. This is all left up in the air and the sense of disbelief and trying to work out what happened is a great puzzle for the reader. ![]()
