Faith is a
seasoned mystery writer and has penned the successful Diana Rivers’ mysteries. Psychological thrillers are most
certainly going to become another string to her bow.
Devil’s
Brae is set in the Highlands of Scotland.
A cold, mountain-dominated area of wild beauty. Its remoteness provides the perfect solution
for Cassandra Potter to recover from the sudden death of Sarah, the older sister she
had just come to know. What could
be better than throwing herself into renovating the cottage she had inherited
from Sarah, perhaps getting a dog, and giving herself time to think with plenty
of fresh air and exercise? But what
seems to her like the perfect solution is thrown off kilter: the reception from her village neighbours isn’t
as warm as she would have liked. An
insularity which borders on contempt shatters her hopes for her own
recovery. She suddenly finds herself in
a maze of secrets: not just those of her mysterious neighbours, but of Sarah
and her own family. Worse, why does she
keep seeing a dark, brooding, sinister figure on the moors? Why do strange things keep happening to her
new home? Does someone want her out of
the house and out of the village?
Taut with
suspense, this book, written in Faith’s usual clean and crisp style, will have
you page-turning addictively, right to the very end. The majesty of the unforgiving Scottish 'braes' is the ideal theatre for the tension, and I enjoyed the smidgen of romance—in the form of handsome Angus—that softens the jagged edges of menace in the story. It’s with some delight I saw that the title included the words 'Dark Minds 1'.
That means No. 2 must be in the offing.
I can’t wait.
Looks good. :)
