I tried reading this ages ago and DNF'd it. Picked it up again and gave it another chance and actually really enjoyed myself. Creepy and mysterious.

This was a solid read but it almost felt unfinished. There was so much build up and then things were resolved and there was nothing... No actual consequences for the crime or even much of a resolution beyond "this is what happened and this is who did it." Toon was a solid storyteller for the majority of the book, so it was a bit of a surprise when the book just kind of ended. The atmosphere was creepy and the whole book kept me feeling uneasy. I just wish the ending had been as strong as the rest!

An eerie thrilling mystery set in a small village n the Scottish Highlands.

On a Halloween night Lauren and her father, Niall, pick up a woman stumbling on the road. In the morning, she's gone.

Lauren feels a familiarness to the woman, who supernaturally turns up at odd times. Niall drinks to forget. Forget that his wife is gone. To forget the whispers of the village about him.

When a local woman goes missing in familiar circumstances, Lauren looks for answers, to find her friend, and her mother.

I found this a gripping, eerie, thriller that feels like a fog starts to fall and becomes heavier with each chapter until the very end. The build up to the ending was long, and the ending abrupt, but I found myself holding my breath and thinking I was in that village.
