kba76 's review for:
The Vanishing of Audrey Wilde
by Eve Chase
An atmospheric story that skilfully blends two stories.
The novel begins with a body being dragged across grass. We don’t know whose it is, or who’s involved. But when we switch to 50 years later, we know we’re not getting answers soon.
In the 50s we have Margot and her sisters,the Wilde girls, sent to live in Applecote Manor in the Cotswolds. The home is the scene of her cousin Audrey’s disappearance. What happened? Who knows about Audrey?
Interspersed with this we have the modern story of Jessie who moves to the Manor with her young family.
Slowly, the details are resolved.
Gothic qualities abound and this is a story packed with sentiment. There may well be elements of the plot you guess, but some details will certainly surprise you.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review this.
