I was attracted by the blurb when I choose to join this blog tour. The plot sounded interesting and I’m a fan of alternate history so this was a sort of perfect match.
First thing first: this is a political thriller but it’s also a depiction of how divisive a referendum can be and how the aftermath can affect people.
The author surely knows what he’s talking about and the descriptions of the dynamics of a group of activists are interesting and quite realistic (been there, done that, got the t-shirt).
Phoebe, the young activist turned sleuth, is an interesting characters. She’s clever and fleshed out and I liked her. The characters are all well written even if some are bit less vivid.
The plot is interesting, a bit slow burning and sometimes drags a bit, but full of twists and turns. You can feel the growing tension and I liked how Phoebe investigated.
This is a good book and I think that the author has the potential to write excellent stories.
I liked this one and I think I will read other books by this author (I’m curious about the cozy mysteries).
I recommend it. As this is a political thriller please not that it could not be your cup of tea of if you are right leaning.
