Review:
I have read Tasmina Perry books before but never the Laura Stone ones. So I was at a disadvantage not knowing the character.
Set in an snow laded remote location in Sweden, Tasmina’s descriptions of this vast wilderness create a vivid picture of white isolation. Guests thinking they were there to experience the most incredible meal by a renowned but wild chef are left with a nightmare they end up trying to help solve.
The story weaves its tale perfectly but personally I felt it wrapped up a little to conveniently for all the characters. It’s not gritty but it is compelling and keeps you wanting to read another chapter to find out what has happened in this inhospitable place.
I found some words that seem out of context, like they should have been removed when the sentence was rewrote or changed direction in more than one chapter. However this is worth picking up and giving a go, it is not the best I have read from Tasmina Perry but it will keep you guessing until the last chapter.
