What a strange book, like Alice In Wonderland! This book starts so depressing that I didn't want to finish it, I am glad I did, it became interesting, and I couldn't wait to see how it would end. It is a unique story, strange happenings, a young lady, mousy, under her father's thumb, dies a horrible death, then she must relive it over and over until she solves the mystery of her murder! Believe it or not it is interesting, thoroughly entertaining, sometimes funny, and what a magical ending. This would make a good TV series on Britbox. I highly recommend it.

Pearl and her father are strongly invited to a huge estate for the weekend where they don’t know the other guests or even their host. Pearl lives a small, inhibited life, bullied by her father who doesn’t seem to love her, so she feels awkward and less than as she meets the other guests. The only thing she’s looking forward to is a swim in the ocean, where she feels most at home. Coming upon an artifact filled cave she stumbles into a clock, knocking herself out, which starts a strange chain of events. That night a raging fire sweeps through the house killing everyone, but Pearl wakes up in the cave the next day as if nothing has happened yet. Both mystery and magical realism, this is a fun book to read.
