Best of the trilogy!

Revisado: 07-30-24

I've really enjoyed all three books telling Elin's tale, and this last one is my favorite. If I could have, I would have listened/read in one sitting. I bought both the Kindle and Audible editions, and enjoyed being able to go back and forth between the two. I only had the audio edition for the first two. The narration by Elizabeth Knowelden is top notch, and the story kept me hooked to the end. I loved the twists and turns; one twist in particular took me completely by surprise.

Sarah Pearse weaves a gripping psychological thriller that takes hold of your imagination and builds suspense until you're fully in its thrall. She builds characters who are real: not just likable, but also relatably imperfect, complete with depth and messy feelings. In this latest installment we see further emotional growth for Elin, personally and in her relationships.

This time the mystery is set against a breathtaking backdrop of the national forest in Portugal, and brings back
a couple familiar characters. It confronts some difficult themes without being maudlin or preachy. I was especially intrigued by the role of maps in this book. I found myself wishing I could create documents of the type she describes; ones so beautifully mapping places of emotional significance.

I am going to miss Elin, and hope maybe someday we will get to revisit her world through the words of Sarah Pearse.
