Sam grew up in the shadow of the secret state. Her father was an undercover agent, full of tall stories about tradecraft and traitors. Then he died, killed in the line of duty. Now Sam has traveled to Hoy, in Orkney, to piece together the puzzle of his past. What she finds is a tiny island of dramatic skies, swooping birds, rugged sea stacks and just 400 people. An island remote enough to shelter someone who doesn't want to be found. An island small enough to keep a secret.

This sadly did very little for me. The daughter of an ex-spy finds her father's past catching up with her. The pacing, the characters, the plot...all left me a bit meh. I finished it because I kept thinking maybe...Maybe it will all suddenly matter at the end. But...nah. All the characters could have died grisly deaths and I would have just shrugged my shoulders. Just wasn't my cup of tea at all.

Happy Friday, you lovely lot! I was wondering who your favourite murder/mystery/thriller authors were? I've got a few long journeys coming up so I'm on the hunt for something gripping and pacey to make the travel zip by! I loved Jane Harper's The Dry and also anything by Tana French. Any recommendations for me? Thank you so much!

Derf If it‘s not fantasy I can‘t help 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 interested to see what others recommend though 👌🏻 6y
Kat_H @DannyHattan haha 😄 well if you had to recommend a fantasy novel to someone who never reads fantasy, what would you suggest to get them started? 6y
Derf @Kat_H go straight in at the deep end ..... #nevernight by Jay Kristoff is a great read. Really dark and gritty. #theeyeoftheworld is great high fantasy that will keep you going for a while and #magician by Raymond E. Feist is nice and light at the beginning. Good luck 😊👍🏻🙌🏻 6y
