Lots of twists and turns of which most were genuinely unexpected. Thought it was really well written with very distinctive characters. I was intrigued the whole way through about what happened to the three lighthouse keepers, it didn't disappoint!

Haunting and captivating, the reader is taken on a journey that rides the swells and calms of these lighthouse keepers as a mystery is woven about their disappearance. In the end we are thrown ashore with an intersectional finale.
I loved this book.
Maybe because I love the sea and lighthouses, but also because of the intricate character development, the superb poetic prose and the clear love of the sea in all its glory and darkness, that shines throughout the excellent storytelling
