The Shadow Man by Helen Sarah Fields

3.0

The Shadow Man is the first book by Helen Fields that I have read and I found it to be interesting. The story follows Dr Connie Woolwine and DI Brodie Baarda as they investigate the disappearance of three people. It is narrated from the perspective of a third person narrator which provided insight into multiple characters and events.

I like the way that Connie comes across as being crass but in fact she is really was intelligent, had a unique perspective and was humorous at times. Baarda was my favourite character because he was so kind and gentle. I really liked the chemistry between Connie and Baarda because I think it made them work really well together.

My favourite part of the book was definitely the ending because it was twisted, interesting and because I really liked Connie’s bravery. I personally didn’t find this book to be a thriller and I would describe it as being more of a whodunnit but that is just my opinion. The only thing that I found to be creepy is The Shadow Man himself but I’m sure you will find out why when you read the book.

I recieved an advanced copy for free, and this is my honest opinion.
