I've loved previous novels by this author but this one didn't work for me.  It had a strong opening when GP Enya is flagged down on the road whilst driving home in a severe storm.  She saves a young lad who has been involved in a hit and run. However the incident has a profound effect on her life and is the catalyst for her to make drastic changes to her life.

I think I would have loved this book if Enya was more of a likeable character but she was not.  I really struggled to find any empathy for her and found her a little annoying.   I did like the character of Margaret though.  She brought a little humour to an otherwise depressing read.

Overall this book is well written and I did enjoy the folklore aspects of the story.

My thanks to to Harper Collins UK, Harper Fiction and Netgalley for providing me with a digital copy for review
