Set in Nebraska the writing was top-notch. It's a slow burn type of story . The plot was engaging, intelligent, and kept me guessing.

I will say this book intrigued me though it was a slow burn to begin with. It was an entertaining read!

I had hopes for this read after reading the blub, but I couldn't get into it and struggled to finish it.

I wanted to love it, loved the descriptions but the story didn’t keep my attention
Not my cup of tea
Many thanks to the publisher, all opinions are mine

I struggled to get to grips with this book as it is heavy with psychiatric illnesses and diagnoses, no characters are unaffected which seemed a little too far. It is bleak and dark and moves about in time. I didn’t really warm to the main character as she battled her own demons as well as those of her patients. The end however moved along at a better pace. Overall not bad but wouldn’t be a favourite. Thank you to NetGalley for the advance reader copy.

"Those who return" is a hard book to review because in some ways, it's wonderfully atmospheric and in other ways, it is very slow and clunky. I did like the idea but I don't feel it was as well executed as it could have been.

An unusual read for me I just found it lacking in energy it seemed to flat line the whole way though and I couldn't engage with the writing style think this might be a marmite read not one for me.

I dont know how I managed to miss this in my tbr pile but I'm very glad I finally got round to it! What a breath of fresh air. Its everything you'd want from a thriller but it's very layered and complex. In parts is seemed slow but it soon picked up the pace again. The setting is captured so vividly and the characters are well written and humanised. A really good read
