Captivating and atmopsheric probably sums up November’s book club title quite well! There was a good amount of crime, a bit of romance and a lot of suspense as the storyline unravelled.
I felt that it was parcelled up a little bit incorrectly as it was a strong police procedural type novel rather than a gothic suspense, but that didn’t detract from a good storyline and book, it just made it seem it would be something different to what it was. At the book club we rated it a solid 4.1 which is a brilliant score out of five stars.
It was a fantastic choice for a late November read, banishing the last of the Autumnal feelings and getting ready to welcome the festivities of Winter!

About The Author
Anne Wyn Clark lives in the UK, in the Midlands, with her husband, son and a feisty chinchilla. She has three (now grown-up) children and six grandchildren. She is particularly partial to Italian food, decent red wine (or any coloured wine come to that…) and cake – and has been known to over-indulge in each on occasions. She is passionate about animals and their welfare. Whilst she has enjoyed writing for many years, a love of all things gothic inspired her to try her hand at producing something dark and twisty, culminating in the haunting Whisper Cottage.
