totallytales 's review for:

Blacklands by Belinda Bauer
4.0

The premise of this book is totally unique; can Steven really bring his struggling family back together by finding his Uncles bones? Is it as simple as writing to a notorious killer asking for help? Or does Arnold Avery have other ideas as he responds to Stevens letters? The novel is split between Steven and Arnold's experiences giving us intriguing insight into their innermost thoughts throughout their letter exchange. Bauer's remarkable ability to portray so convincingly and seamlessly both characters is captivating and disturbing in equal parts you'll be hooked. Coupled with the vivid descriptions of the beautiful, eerie and dangerous Exmoor and Dartmoor landscapes the tension slowly builds towards the dramatic conclusion. Definitely worth a read!
