i think the ending wraps up a little too neatly and there are a few holes in the set up but otherwise its very atmospheric and jumps between different characters/settings quite well. becomes a mildly gothic pageturner

This book had a touch of everything and I loved it. It was a rip-roaring plot, fabulous character development and a really great mystery that seemed to be one thing but masqueraded as something else. Just brilliant. I had a rare time reading this book and I’d like to look at more that the author has released!

Not something I'd usually pick up. Loved the descriptions of the Scottish landscape and the references to folklore. Did get a bit confusing at times but overall a really enjoyable read!
