Emma in the Night
by Wendy Walker
This is marketed as a mystery thriller which I would say is the correct genre for this story. There are some thrilling elements but it is mainly about the mystery of the two sisters.
I had really high hopes for this but in the end it ended up being just okay for me. The story itself was quite interesting and I wanted to find out what the twist was but I just couldn’t really find a connection with most of the characters. The only person I actually liked was the half-brother. Also, the writing was not doing me any favours. It was quite a slow burn for most of the story which wasn’t the right choice for my reading taste with that type of story I guess.
However, I can totally see how other people might enjoy this. There are some weird family dynamics and secrets to unravel and you really want to know what actually happened when the sisters went missing since you will know right from the start that Cass is not telling the whole story!
✨ 3/5 stars ✨
