The Loch by Fran Dorricott
4.0
dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

When three friends travel to Loch Aven, El doesn’t expect her unknown pst to come to light or to learn the truth of the secret haunting the town. 

This book is an easy ready that is both tense and predictable at points. The characters are all developed enough that you can empathise with them while being frustrated with them. I loved the twists and turns. It was both emotive and intriguing while leaving you questioning what happened right until the very end. 

The mental health representation in this was the first time that I could understand a characters experiences the same as my own. “Now it feels like my anxiety, once pushed down to a deep dark cave in my chest, is back and in overdrive.” 

This was a cozy but tense mystery with plenty of thrill which I absolutely loved.
