My Review
This review was not posted on the intended date due to technical issues on my end, For this I would just like to apologise to the Author, the Publisher and the Tour Organiser and thank them all for their understanding.
A gripping read with a great premise that gets its claws in to you and you just have to keep reading.
Nell has suffered real trauma in her life so much more than most the loss of her best friend and the guilt at how she died doing a babysitting job Nell should have been on.
The abuse she has suffered in the relationship she has just escaped from mean Nell is in such an emotional and quite traumatised state.
Returning to her home town after inheriting her aunts B&B stirs up so many emotion for Nell and also for others, Sam Her best friend brother still holds anger and blames her for his sisters death, is it him who is leaving creepy things in the B&B, who is watching her? or who else is it and what do they have in store?
A slow burn at the start with a tragic murder, that turns in to a roller-coaster ride of a thriller, red hearings, twists and a suspenseful undercurrent throughout, another fantastic read from this author
Author Bio
Keri Beevis wrote her first novel at age twenty, but it was a further twenty years before she was published after entering the Rethink Press New Novels Competition 2012.
Her entry, Dead Letter Day, was a winner, earning her a publishing contract, and the book proved to be a minor hit, leading to a sequel, Dead Write. However it was Keri's third novel, standalone mystery thriller The Darkness Beneath that gained her the most success, along with many new fans, both in the UK and the USA.
Born in the village of Old Catton, less than a mile from where Anna Sewell was living when she wrote Black Beauty, Keri had a passion for reading and writing from a young age, though her tastes veered more to the macabre.
Today she still lives in Norwich, along with her two naughty kitties, Ellie and Lola, and a plentiful supply of red wine (her writing fuel), where she writes a comedic lifestyle column for a local magazine. She loves Hitchcock movies, exploring creepy places, and gets extremely competitive in local pub quizzes. She is also a self-confessed klutz.
Keri’s previous books have all been US based and she is looking forward to the release of her first UK based novel, which is set in her beautiful home county of Norfolk
