The first true literary thriller I’ve read
Thank you, Atria Books, for the gifted copy of Middletide by Sarah Crouch {partner}
Genre: Literary Thriller
Format: 📖
Pub Date: 6.11.2024
Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆.5
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Middletide. I’d seen a few early reviews raving about the brilliant story, so I decided to pick it up (without really looking into what the story was about). I would highly recommend doing the same, as it really adds to the mystery of the story itself.
There’s a little something for everyone nestled into the mages of this 288-page novel - mystery, small-town secrets, romance, revenge, and forgiveness. It blew me away that the author, Sarah Crouch, could pack so much into such a short book.
There’s also the added bonus of a non-linear timeline, which kept me guessing as I tried to put together the pieces of the puzzles. But I was shocked at how the story ended up coming together. Middletide is one of those books I could (and will) read again to find all the little details I missed during my first read.

✨ Debut Novel
🔀 Non-linear timeline
📖 Book about a book
🌫️ Atmospheric
👏🏼 Perfect for a book club
I recommend going into Middletide without knowing much about the story and then letting the author take you along for a ride as you learn about what happened on one quiet morning in Point Orchards in 1994.
