I need to stop reading the books from this series. The further I get away from the stunning first and second, the more I dislike Ogilvie. One of the strengths of the first few was that the books were solidly tied to their place, but it wasn't about the place. This should be titled: How to Live on an Island: Aren't We Charming? She saves what tiny bit of plot she's managed to scare up for the last 30 pages of the book and by then, it's just too late.

The Day Before Winter is pretty disappointing. Like An Answer in the Tide, the pacing is a little off and the heart of the story feels adjacent to Joanna’s point of view. Gone are the days of “gunmetal seas” and “gorminess,” this is a lot of sentences about the family pets and flash backs. Ogilvie fails to control the tension as masterfully as she usually does, and it’s a tough read as a result. It feels like “Go Set A Watchman” to me—the book that might have been better left unpublished.
