Storm Child by Michael Robotham

4.0

Thank you to @scribner for sending me a copy of this book and a @netgalley copy, all thoughts are my own.



Evie has grappled with her past and that hasn’t changed since she’s become an adult. As a child, she was held captive, and those memories still haunt her. Now, years later, she’s catapulted to the past when the bodies of seventeen migrants wash up on a beach.

There’s one survivor, and he tells authorities they were intentionally rammed and sunk by a larger vessel. Psychologist Cyrus Haven, and Evie previous guardian, sets to help the police investigate what happened that fateful day.


I read the first book in this series, and enjoyed it, but I’m not huge on series, so I didn’t really keep reading. However, I missed out. So, when I saw this one, I knew I had to grab it and read it. I did not go back and read books 2 & 3, but I recommend you do. Not because you won’t be able to follow the story, but because it is a great story. I think that this book is even better than the first. The story was really entertaining and interesting. This book talks about migrants and while at times the journey that the characters took was difficult to read, I think that it was an important one because people face this journey all the time. This one was particularly interesting for me because it is set in the UK and it was enlightening to read how immigration works there. This book is a suspense book at its core, and I was for sure kept trying to figure things out.

I can’t wait to find out what happens with Evie and Cyrus next!
