The Resting Place is a good psychological thriller with some decent twists and turns, but where it really delivers is on the atmosphere. This was my second read from Camilla Sten and I really enjoy her work. Her writing is very atmospheric and the creepy, isolated house in winter trope was totally nailed for me. The intrigue was well done and the overall feel was very haunting, mildly claustrophobic, and edgy.

I loved the dual timeline and was close on figuring out the twists, but not quite. Still...I found the read gripping and I loved the way things fell into place. This was my second thriller read using the prosopasgnosia trope (face blindness), so the ingenuity of that was a little lost on me, but it will be great for some readers as it isn't a frequently used plot device.

For those looking for a wintery, gothic feel with a creepy estate/house vibe, this will be an excellent, quick-paced read. Camilla Sten can write a chilly scene and set quite the edgy tone.
