??David Baldacci, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Long Shadows

They couldn??t wait to stay here.
An idyllic wellness retreat has opened on an island off the English coast, promising rest and relaxation??but the island itself, known locally as Reaper??s Rock, has a dark past. Once the playground of a serial killer, it??s rumored to be cursed.

Very formula driven work. So similar to the first one but even more repetitive. Elin is always about to do something when something catches her eye. I find the narrative in the present tense is annoying. Having said that. I finished it. ( )

I really hope no one is using my reviews of mysteries as recommendations. Are you? Stop it. I am wildly subjective and willing to ignore big flaws if the positives are what I need in the moment.
So. I didn't love the first book, but I think this one is better. I had a headache and a storm was coming, and I just wanted to listen to a story about some sad sacks stuck on an island, and that is what I got.
That said, I spent the last ~20% waiting for one more twist to reveal that the murderer was who I'd determined it must be, not for the story but for the characters. There was some disappointment. I just have to repeat the lesson I learned from Pike and Stine in middle school... just because he's not the killer, does not mean he's a good boyfriend. May we all learn that lesson. ( )

Book 2 of the Elin Warner series. Once again, Elin is sent to a secluded place - this time The Retreat which is on an island connected by a bridge to the mainland. She invites her boyfriend to come spend the weekend with her while she investigates a murder at The Retreat. Years earlier, children were murdered at a camp on the island. Now, more people are murdered. Is there a connection?
Elin also feels someone watching her, which is a continuation from book 1. Still happening in this book.
Another spooky book with Elin as the main character. A good series continues! I wonder - will the next book once again put Elin is a place cut off from civilization? ( )

Good read. Feel as though the ending chapters weren’t as captivating as the beginning ones. ( )

A brand new island wellness retreat, a dysfunctional family, a spooky island and murders. Nice suspense tale, although it would be better if we didn't spend so much time wallowing in Detective Elin Warner's angst. ( )
