I really enjoyed this book. The writing and pace wasn’t perfect for me, but giving a 4/5 based on the fact that reading it was a great experience.

I don't know why it took my sooooo long to finally finish this book. A great, sad story based on the history of the lighthouse where the keepers disappeared. I did enjoy the story - maybe suffering from burn out by the time I picked this up.

Based on a true story of 3 lighthouse keepers who disappeared. Slow but was interesting in its own way

Good hook, long middle, good ending.

Didn't go the way I expected and was a little disappointed. But the book itself was well written, even if the plot wasn't fantastic in my opinion.

Atmospheric. I thought it got a bit spooky near the end.
