The Whistling by Rebecca Netley
3.0
I’d deffo give this 3.5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
There’s nothing more that I love than a Victorian setting - a Scottish Island in the middle of nowhere full of mystery. I felt a bit marmite about most of the characters - most of them were unlikable or annoying, and Elspeth at times was just dwelling so much on the past it took me right out of the story. BUT THAT BEING SAID - I am a suuuucker for witchcraft in an isolated village setting. I love mystery surrounding death or reasons for departure, and the way that this was written was just lovely. I love flowery descriptions and I really did get into the world surrounded Iskar and Gulls Rest.
