D: Whitby's Darkest Secret by Chris Turnbull

3.0

I'm not really sure what to say about this book. I went in reading this book as the cover and blurb both attracted my attention. But after reading it I was a bit confused as to why there was ever a mention of Bram Stoker's Dracula in it. I thought it may of had a reference to the story but after finishing the book I can't see there is.

There's a murderer on the run in the town of Whitby, women are turning up dead and the police have no clue as to who the murderer is. A women and her husband are enjoying their stay in Whitby when she becomes the next victim. They have to race against time to catch the killer before he strikes again.

I really enjoyed the story, I loved the authors writing style. It pulls you into the story and makes you want to keep reading to find out what will happen next. You can tell the author did a lot of research about the small town of Whitby, as you got the feel for the place and could imagine yourself there.
I had trouble connecting to the characters throughout the story. They didn't really jump put of the page to me.
I am eager to read the next book in the series to see where the author will take the story!
