A review by renuked
At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen

4.0

The reviews are admittedly poor for this novel, but I was intrigued by the Loch Ness Monster hunt in the middle of WWII. Who would be stupid enough to do that? (I got my answer...) Honestly, 2/3 of the characters were the worst people on the planet, and I completely understand why that makes the majority of this book unlikable, but I felt like it was pretty applicable to current events. The ending was almost too perfect, I wish Gruen had left a few things up to the reader, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere and Maddie's character development. Overall, monster hunting in WWII was so helplessly weird that I couldn't help but enjoy it.
