A gripping read which kept me guessing right up until the end. I really enjoyed the setting of this novel. The extreme cold and total darkness of the Antarctic winter added to the tension and suspense throughout the novel. Thanks to Emma Haughton and Pigeonhole for the ARC.

Really did not love this one. Took half the book to really set the scene and build up to the main event. The ending was predictable and it was all a bit of a reach.

With thanks to Emma Haughton and Hodder & Stoughton for an advanced readers copy of this book.

I'm so annoyed by this one, on the one hand what a fantastic atmospheric novel. The writer has a creepily good ability to make you feel claustrophobic in your own home. Brilliant suspenseful writing, that really is a page turner! (far too many books around claim that title but this one truly deserves it).

That brings me to the annoyance, there's so many twists and turns, a cast of characters full of secrets. But what certainly isn't a secret is who the murderer is. In what could have been a fantastic book its such a shame the central mystery is figured out by the reader so early in.
