The Resting Place

When you suffer from prosopagnosia, it makes you question things. Such as who can you trust. You can’t recognize a familiar person’s face. How do you form relationships?

Eleanor has walked in on her grandmother, Vivianne ‘s murder. She came face to face with the killer. She goes through her days knowing she came face to face with a killer, but who?

Vivianne has left Eleanor her home deep in the Swedish woods. A house that has housed a secret for the last fifty years. So, Elanor, her boyfriend, Sebastian, her lawyer and Veronika, her aunt go to her inherited home. The house has housed secrets for years, will the secrets ever see the light of day? But first there is that pesky snowstorm that does what snowstorms do, keeps them stuck at the home where *gasp* you guessed it, strange things are beginning to happen.

This book is told in two timelines and readers get a glimpse into the origin of the secrets though the use of a diary. Into the time when Sir and Ma’am ran the house. When servants did as they were told and then some.

I listened to the audiobook and at times found my attention wandering. There were parts I wished would speed up. I wanted a little more dread and tension. Yes, there is some, but I wanted more. As the snow piled up outside and I wanted more fear inside. This is in the horror genre, but I wanted it to be more horrific.

Fans of Sten will most likely enjoy this one. Overall, I found this to be enjoyable but not as horrific as I wanted and slow in parts.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio 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.
