The Resting Place by Camilla Sten
4.0
This was my first book by Camilla Sten and I was not disappointed.
The story starts off with Eleanor walking into her grandmothers apartment only to find her murdered as the killer runs out. Eleanor has prosopagnosia (face blindness), so even though she saw the killer there is no way she can identify them if they were to cross her path again. Eleanor becomes paranoid and anxious as the days continue and it only intensifies when she finds out that her grandmother left a house to her that she had no idea existed. As she spends time in this foreign house with her boyfriend, lawyer and aunt secrets start to surface.
The beginning of this story started off a bit too slow for me. I really had to push through the beginning but once we got past that it kept me hooked. I honestly didn't know if face blindness was real (it is) but I found it to be a weak excuse for the storyline. However I loved the story as a whole and there were some twists and turns that I did not see coming and that part was done extremely well. I would definitely recommend this book!
I received a free arc copy by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
