Holy plot twist, Batman! Wow. When you think you have it figured out, another twist comes along. Very gaslighty and creepy. Loved the description of the island. Now I want to visit the Hebrides! Had to look up the details about the transplanted redwood trees which turned out to be based in fact. I will say I got a bit annoyed that Grady didn't get more assertive about his car and the ferry and so on. Was that just British politeness or a plot device? Or the confidence a man has that nothing bad will happen to him? Hmmm .. Other than that, loved it and tore through this audiobook in less than two days. TW: child molester.
