That is until a local teenager is found brutally murdered in the Settlement, the towns historic archaeological site. Alex Brangwen, adjusting to life as a single father with a failed career as a novelist, is the towns sole detective. This is his first murder case and, as both a parent and detective, Alex knows the people of Granite Harbor are looking to him to catch the killer and temper the fear that has descended over the town. Isabel, a single mother attempting to support her family while healing from her own demons, finds herself in the middle of the case when she begins working at the Settlement. Her son, Ethan, and Alexs daughter, Sophie, were best friends with the victim. When a second teenager is found murdered, the body left in the same manner as the first victim, both parents are terrified that their child may be next.

Granite Harbor: A Novel | Peter Nichols

This was a slow-burn mystery, more character-driven and atmospheric than action packed. I thought the pacing was great, and I couldn't read the last 50 or so pages fast enough. It's also so creepy, and has a ton of depth for a murder mystery, with great characters and realistic complex relationships. My only issue is that I knew who the killer was IMMEDIATELY. hat said, this was so much more than a whodunnit, so that really didn't matter.

This came across as an honest novel, from the portrayal of teenagers and their problems to their relationships with their parents to the raw and rash behavior by their parents. There were some sections that were a little slow, but when things really got going it became an edge-of-my-seat mystery, I just wish it hadn‘t taken so long to get there. It was nice to have my suspicions about the killer‘s identity but still come across some surprises.

Granite Harbor by Peter Nichols

I've had a lot of firsts this year. First time reads that is. Another new to me author that I will be looking out for. This book was great.

This is a dark story but it has a lot of things that I didn't expect. From fear to laughter to holding my breath. Yes there is a serial killer out there murdering teen boys. Cutting them open. Yes the killer is evil to the core.

Set in Maine, this thriller oozes a sort of classic feel to it. English native Alex has shifted from novelist to detective as he worries over his teenaged daughter— all the more so when one of her friends is found at a the site of a historical reenactment settlement, murdered, with a toad inside of his corpse. The parental worries, alongside the nameless killer makes this a genuine page-turner! The characters and community all come to life!
