Reviews

[Claudete Takahashi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this story especially because it's very different from the ones usually written by Ms. Pierce. There's mystery, suspense, and horror, everything linked to stories related to a small Scottish island! Finn and Amelia work well together and there's a possibility of something else developing between them, but there's also Demi, Finn's ex-fiancée, and the lawsuit that keeps on hanging on his head. The story ends on a cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to learning what will happen next!

I'm really enjoying this series. I like how this one had a scooby doo feel to it for me. Finn finds himself on a small island trying to catch a bad guy. Multiple storms rage on through the book but give a good Scotland feel to the book.

This book has plenty of action and atmosphere. Its setting is an island off the Scottish mainland. Many storms and old legends and a creepy mansion at to the mix. The body count keeps rising as Finn and Amelia try to catch a killer.

[Susan Forsgren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Astounding mystery, set in England.
Meeting new and old friends.
Solving enthralling high-profile murders, with many cultural and historical elements toss in.

The audiobook recording is absolutely awful. The reader is clearing his throat and saying duplicate lines multiple times. Story was decent.
