What Remains Of Her by Eric Rickstad
4.0
3.75 stars
This was a first by Rickstead and I really enjoyed it. I've seen it around a lot and it's been on my shelf for quite some time so I decided to read it.
It was such an interesting read and I loved how strong it started and how it stayed consistent until the end. The most entertaining thing about this novel was its creepy atmosphere. Rickstead does a very wonderful job describing everything and he manages to make even a street feel creepy as if someone is about to pop out of nowhere and attack you. But that's what made it so intriguing.
The plot was another element that I really enjoyed. I always like stories that have a past and present, it's almost like two stories in one. Everytime I read a novel like this one, it's very easy for thriller readers to assume that we don't fully know what happened in the past even though the case was closed. It's never really the "killer" who thbey said it was and the story is never true. This one had many secrets and a really really good twist at the end.
The twist really gave the novel a boost up and it was a twist within a twist. So we had a revalation, but just when we thought that was it, there was another revalation that was even better.
Imagine a creepy novel + a really good twist. To me, that equals a great thrilling read.
