The Island House by Poise Graeme-Evans
“Alternating between present-day and ninth-century Scotland, The Island House is an intertwined story of fascinating discoveries and two women connected to each other over centuries."
This book had everything I love in a great story. It combined a good contemporary mystery and suspense with a historical thought provoking story with interesting characters and plot, even a feeling of the supernatural at times. I did really enjoy reading this book, and it could have rated 5 out of 5 stars had it not been for the ending of the book. There were moments at the end of the book that seemed confusing and unnecessary which could easily have been edited out without ruining the story. I also think the characters could have been developed more, including the relationship between Katherine and Michael and I didn't understand the need for the characters Simon? and Rob? I'm not sure why they were even in the story, this just added confusion and weakened the ending of the book. ..In saying all this though, I was still totally engrossed in this book and couldn't put it down until I had finished the book.
