Last summer in Edinburgh at the International Book Festival, I went to see Doug Johnstone talk. Along with my sister we both bought one of his books. I finally read mine and loved it. It is very short just over 200 pages. Set in Edinburgh where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur often. Surtsey finds the dead body of her lover and boss on a new volcanic island called The Inch. It was gripping to the end. #crimenovel

He had me at murder, earthquakes and volcanic island. I thought this was a pretty smart story, which focuses on a young, ambitious seismologist who discovers her lover dead on a remote volcanic island. Its a mix of whodunnit & psychological thriller from there. Really engaging characters, plenty of sharp twists and a good pace throughout🌟🌟🌟🌟

An unholy melange of Misery, Brigadoon and Joe Versus the Volcano. It did take my mind off the shot utter mess world politics has become, so that‘s something.

I loved this! Extremely gripping. I think I've read so many crime novels now that I'm starting to guess culprits more often, half way through I knew who this one would be. Didn't spoil it though, I did not see the finale coming.
