WOW! What a brilliant thriller. Has to be one of the best thrillers of the year for me so far… Chilling, Creepy, addictive!
You can tell Sharon has done research for this story about the witches, cults, old tales and pendle hill. I had a proud moment when both Burnley and Blackburn were mentioned within this story as they’re both close to home…
Three missing teenagers… What happened to them? Will the truth be set free? Will Florence be able to solve the disappearances? Is this linked to the witches cult, pendle hill and old tales? Is Florence putting herself in danger?
The opening of The Craftsman has the reader intrigued and wanting more, drawing them into the story… A cleverly written story, a real page turner you will find hard to put down and easy to read. This story made my fear of death even worse! Not recommended if you’re claustrophobic. Haha. Very impressed! Highly recommend. A well deserved five stars.

Ohhh this was good!! The kind of book I’ll be thinking about for a while.
I thought it was a case of piecing together how the police found the killer but I was so wrong. I thought I could see exactly where this book was going but I was wrong.. again!
So many twists and turns and it’s very hard to review without the possibility of spoiling it for others, so you’ll just have to read it and then let me know so we can ‘OH MY GOD’ together!

After three local teenagers disappear, WPC Lovelady is committed to doing everything she can to find them. As a female cop, arriving from a big city in the late 1960s, WPC Lovelady struggles to gain the trust of her fellow main coworkers.
WPC Lovelady trusts her own instincts on where the children may be and in order to find them, has to go on her own, despite orders from her boss not to.
Years later, after the funeral of the man who killed the children, Lovelady finds herself at the home she used to live in, and discovers a very disturbing doll. Making her think the killer may still be out there.
I definitely enjoyed The Craftsman, but it wasn’t one of my favorites. I enjoyed the creepy nature and the police procedural aspect, but I struggled to stay with the story at times and the felt the book got a bit long. I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was, maybe it was because I didn’t quite connect to the characters? This may be an unpopular opinion, but I just didn’t love it.
