Sitten päästään itse juoneen. Mielestäni ei ollut kovin loogista, että kirjeiden lähettäjä ja lasten katoamisesta vastuussa oleva olivat eri henkilöitä. Lisäksi en pidä siitä tavasta, miten lopussa syyllisille kävi köpelösti, ja miten sekaisin tekijät lopulta olivat. Se tuntui kummalliselta.
Oma lukunsa on tietysti Ruthin ja Nelsonin tekoset, ja varsinkin lopun paljastus… En usko, että jatkan enää tätä sarjaa, vaikka kirja ihan suhteellisen viihdyttävä olikin.

The setting is so desolate and beautiful, I loved every scene on the Saltmarsh. The way Ruth is drawn to it no matter how lonely or eerie it feels says a lot about how complex a character she is.
There are a lot of red herrings thrown around throughout the plot, designed to add suspicion to everyone. But unfortunately I guessed the ending pretty early on and didn't really waver in my verdict. But it doesn't happen often and it didn't take much away from the book! There were also a few touches I didn't predict to keep me guessing right to the end, and I love some of the little set ups that are in place for the next book.
