Inspired by a true story. I had not heard of the Moor Murders prior to reading this book and had to head over to Wikipedia to learn more.
There is a lot going on in this book so pay attention as the author blends fact with fiction. Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, July 1963, and October 1965, killed 5 children.
Black Fell Farm, Saddleworth Moor Robert and his brother have grown up here. They know the Moors. When a young woman and man begin acting strangely, Robert knows something isn’t right. Then a little one shows up on his door and his brother wants to bring her in and keep her. only makes him feel more unease. Plus, he has another secret that prays will never be exposed.
There are a few characters in this book, but I found it easy to keep track of them. They are not that likeable which made it harder for me to feel too connected with them. Plus, I was quite annoyed that a character would leave a child alone in a car.
I enjoyed the blending of fact and fiction. I also enjoyed the narrator.
With this subject matter, there a few triggers.
While I enjoyed this book and audiobook, others enjoyed it more, so search out their reviews as well.
Thank you to Bookouture, Dreamscape Media and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
