A review by fasmina
Wild Place by Christian White
5.0
This is absolutely a book of one sitting! I couldn’t stop and finished it sooner than I expected to.
A 17 year old girl goes missing and a school teacher who knew her is worried about her whereabouts. He goes digging and comes up with one single theory that he strongly believed in; a satanic cult.
Set in a beautiful suburb of Australia during the last few weeks of 1989, the book presents a well-researched world of the end of the decade and the era before technology. There are not too many characters and I loved how each person played a role in the book. The characters were built with so much background and input that each one stands out from another.
Although a mystery thriller, in a gist what I saw was how the author made the whole book about one’s family and how important that is to stay together. I loved how the story flowed and the final twist that was presented.
I do not want to give out any spoilers but the last chapter will make your heart stop beating for a minute.
Thanks to Affirm Press I was lucky enough to read this gem and take myself back to a time I wasn’t even alive and experience it’s magic.
