Malcolm Richards

Had me hooked from the first page to the very last of the third book - Malcolm Richards is a master at suspense/thriller/horror, this trilogy will sink its claws into you and won’t let go until long after you’ve finished reading! I was mesmerised by the plot, the characters, the pace, the location... It just all fits together so well! Both chilling and heart-rending, an absolute must to add to your TBR pile!

This was a good start to a series in that the reader is able to learn about the protagonist and her personal struggle. It wasn't expecting a character, struggling with anxiety, to be out solving a missing person case. It is as much about the missing people as it is the internal struggle of Emily. Not only is she fighting against her anxiety, but also against her past. The author has done a good job setting up the series and I would be interested in seeing Emily continue to push through her show more anxiety as she goes on to solve more crimes. show less

A quiet, sleepy fishing village in England is the setting for this serial killer thriller when a young boy long thought to be dead from a drowning accident is discovered on a beach. He has been badly traumatized and speaks to virtually no one. But things do not appear as they might with this boy as his background remains mysterious throughout most of the book gradually revealing itself one small bit at a time until an exciting climax leaves the reader in a frustrating cliffhanger setting the show more stage for volume 2 of this well written trilogy. show less

I liked the premise and the characters, but ultimately felt let down by how it all ended up. I need things explained better. :(
