Synopsis:
This is the third installment in the Detective Elin Warner series.
Kier is haunted by the past because of something her mom did. Despite trying to live off the grid, she’s always stayed bound to her twin brother. Until one day she doesn’t.
Elin is on vacation with her brother in Portugal, and the last place Kier was seen. It’s supposed to be time for Elin and her brother to connect, but it turns into something more.
After a discover, Elin is shocked to learn that Kier’s chilling disappearance is closer to her than she ever imagined. Can she continue to search for her despite what’s lurking?
Thoughts:
This was such a great read! It did take me a little while to get into because the author slowly was building things up, laying the groundwork for what was to come. But then oh boy, watch out. The pace picked up and took right off with action. I was intrigued from the get-go, even when things were slower, I was readily engaged and needed to know what was going to happen, and that is a big accomplishment. I appreciated how clever this book was. I didn’t see the twists coming because they snuck up on me in the best of ways. I adored the setting of this book as well, it was so atmospheric and eerie.
I haven’t read the other two books in the series, and while this is book three, I think that it does work as a stand-alone. I didn’t feel lost along the way though I am interested in learning more about the characters so might go back to read them.
