Ann Cleeves weaves a tale akin to the fog traversing the causeway at Holy Island. Each time the reader grasps a tendril of the possible truth of this story the fog thickens once again and certainty is no longer as certain. The characters are immaculately crafted and

the conclusion is heartbreaking but beautifully rendered.

I appreciated what I took as an acknowledgement that the body shaming thing is old news in the beginning of this one. The book felt tighter and then ultimately was so bittersweet...!
