A review by biophile
The Coffin Path by Katherine Clements

3.0

Great potential in this story..but lingering questions that are never really resolved. Why doesn't Mercy marry someone? She just didn't feel like it? Because she's an incurable tomboy? She has strong nurturing instincts, she likes men, but nah, she's married to her work. Not adequately explained. And why does Ellis become a psychopath after demonstrating what a trustworthy, stable, and solid man he is?

I feel like Clements wrote herself into a corner and didn't quite arrive at the climax she had hoped for. Nothing in the end really makes sense; the plot points come together but it just felt rushed and a little clumsy.

I have to say that I really did enjoy the setting, and the brooding feeling of the supernatural elements of the story.
