Having been interested in Catriona Ward’s work since discovering The Last House on Needless Street. I was extremely looking forward to Looking Glass Sound after attending a talk on the book and hearing the premise, and was not disappointed!

Ward’s books encompass so many different genres and twists that I think most would be hard pushed not to be intrigued by their offering.

Looking Glass Sound starts with Wilder Harlow, as a young outcast arriving in the coastal town of Whistler Bay at a cottage that once belonged to his deceased uncle. There Wilder befriends Nat and Harper. However that summer leads to a discovery that will haunt the trio.

As an aspiring writer we see Wilder struggle with the events of summer as he tries to pen his memoir. Though he’s not the only one who wants to pen his tale…

It’s hard to say more without spoiling any of this wonderful book. Fans of Ward will know to expect something special. I was hooked throughout and the ending was superb.

Big thanks to Viper and Catriona Ward for the advanced copy. I received a free review copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest unedited feedback.
