The Silent Land by Graham Joyce
3.0
This was a really fascinating mystery with a light sprinkling of the supernatural. Sort of a thriller character portrait.
The tone was really interesting, because at first I felt like the writing was a little bit simplistic, but as it went there were some truly beautiful turns of phrase. By the end I was really enjoying the writing as well as the story.
The characters were the focus of the plot, and they really shone. They felt very real, with three-dimensional flaws and strengths.
The end was satisfying, it wrapped up nicely, and it left me thinking a little about where it had gone. Overall, I enjoyed it!
