dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.0

The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill is a dark and intriguing story that had me hooked from the very first page. Immediately, there's a sense of unease within the pages, is it just because Grace has such an unusual job or is there something more sinister bubbling underneath?

This was an engrossing mix of a twisty mystery with some very unexpected turns, combined with an enthralling and perplexing character study.

Grace is the absolute star of this book and her character is developed and unveiled dramatically as the book unfolds. At times, she will make you feel pity and guilt, other times she will repulse you and she will most definitely shock you.

Overall this was a gripping and creepy mystery which kept me reading and guessing right up until the end.
