A review by thechemicaldetective
Escondida by Ross Armstrong

5.0

It’s very difficult to review this book without giving anything away. And I definitely don’t want to do that, because it is such a compelling read, like unwrapping a many layered Christmas present or unlocking a puzzle.

The skill is the pacing, the slow reveal of … well all sorts of things external and internal… through constantly shifting shadows.

The first-person present-tense chatty voice ramps up the intimacy and tension as the story bowls along through nail biting close encounters.

"You are the master of your dreams."

This is the perfect holiday read! Just don’t read it alone…
