A police procedural with a distinction – Freya is neurodivergent and has had a difficult time working for The Herald newspaper on the Scottish mainland. She wants a brand new begin and so is again on the island with husband Tom and canine Luna. (The canine is so cute!)
She’s solely been there 5 minutes when two our bodies flip up. The victims are recognized as two youngsters who went lacking greater than 17 years beforehand. Freya begins engaged on the case, shadowing extra senior reporter Gill. That is when the fascinating snippets about her neurodiversity begin to present and it’s fascinating to examine. Freya sees issues in numerous methods to different individuals. She spots issues others miss and makes connections others don’t. Now, this causes just a few ructions with different members of the press however Freya retains going. She additionally has a supply that has resurfaced with solutions from the previous – however can they be trusted?
The setting of Orkney has been crying out for a police procedural like this I believe. One which takes the setting as a primary character in itself and provides a unique approach to it. A narrative from somebody who is aware of the island inside out and a personality who’s returning so seeing an previous place by means of new eyes. This mixture of seeing previous, new and distinctive angles is one thing that’s recent and thrilling. It opened up my eyes to the complexity of neurodiversity and the novel actually combined it nicely with plot and setting.
The fascinating factor about this e-book is that it poses extra questions than it solutions and so we’ll want a sequel. Freya is but to completely perceive her situation – what diploma of neurodiversity are we speaking about or is it even one thing else? I do know that I will probably be standing beside her, alongside for the journey.
