4.5

This book is well written thriller with a side platter of climate activism. I don’t usually read mysteries, but Charlotte McConaghy’s beautiful prose and skillful manipulation of flashbacks, first person perspective and the reader’s assumptions makes for a fantastic book. I really enjoyed this book, and I think McConaghy is an author I would seek out again just to be enveloped so wholely into a story once more.

I would recommend this to anyone interested in nature, character studies, and mystery. Definitely check the content warnings.
