The Wilds: A Novel | Sarah Pearse

Mehso-so

Following the events on Reaper Rock in the previous book, Detective Elin Warner decides to take some R&R & holiday with her estranged brother, Isaac. They head to a national park in Portugal but it's not until they get there that Isaac tells her that he wants to look into the disappearance of his friend's sister. Kier Templer has never wanted to settle down & lived her life on the road. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf After attending her brother's wedding with her boyfriend, ex-celebrity chef Zeph, she seemingly disappeared. Has Kier just gone off-grid or is there more to her disappearance? Told from both Elin & Kier's points of view, this is a dual narrative storyline with Elin being present-day & Kier relating the events that led up to her disappearance a couple of years before.

OutsmartYourShelf I should have known better really. The first two books were so-so for me but I was pulled in again by the synopsis & the book cover. A book like this should take me 2 days to read tops, but this took a (seemingly very long) 4 days. I think much of it is down to the main character Elin Warner - one of the most frustrating characters ever. Does she actually do any investigating or does everything just happen around her? I'm feeling it's the latter. 4mo
OutsmartYourShelf When work partner Steed tells her that she is one of the best detectives he's ever known I laughed almost as loud as when someone told Carrie Mathison in Homeland that she was the best agent they'd ever seen. LOL, no! On the good side, the plot itself is well worked out even if it meandered on too long. 3⭐

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Little, Brown Book Group UK/Sphere, for the opportunity to read an ARC. 4mo
