A really enjoyable read. It had me gripped right from the very start, it was twisty, fast paced and unpredictable. I couldn't put it down.
Ruth D, Librarian
I have devoured every single one of Lexie Elliott's books, so I was super keen to get my hands on this one.
In her classic style we have a small selection of characters, and a mysterious death to puzzle over. I really enjoyed the setting of this book, and the descriptions of the mountains and countryside. An added element was the hauntingly eerie grandfather clock, which appeared as a malevolent influence on the characters. I had to take the batteries out of my living room clock whilst reading this, as I became increasingly aware of the ticking noise.
Unfortunately I did guess 'whodunnit' quite early on, but that may just be because I'm so used to the authors writing style.
Definitely worth a read this one
