The Village by Caroline Mitchell. Captivating mystery of the Harper family missing for more than a decade. Set in a small villiage whose residents are not warm and welcoming. Relatable characters, well written, fast moving suspense with unexpected twist at the end.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Caroline does it again!!!!!
Intriguing and (mostly) engaging characters, tension, mystery, twists and bombshells galore. This is a "clear the diary, silence the phone and read in one sitting" book; totally unputdownable and one of the best I've read in a long time.
Six stars!!!

Just when you think you know the ending there are a few twists and turns to add to the excitement. I found some of the story a bit unbelievable - why would a millionaire want to spend the night in a sleeping bag in a semi-derelict cottage and why would a journalist buy a house just to investigate it's history?

I was so excited when I got to read this. I love and own all Caroline Mitchell's book. It was a very satisfying read and I read it in a few hours. Cost me some sleep but it was worth it.

Good characters, as always; good storyline, as always; overall just great, as always.

And now I can't wait for the future book. As I always said after a boyfriend didn't work out, NEXT.
