The Disappearance – Twelve years ago Finn’s girlfriend disappeared.
The Suspicion – He told the police the truth about that night.
Just not quite the whole truth.
The Fear – Now Finn has moved on. But his past won’t stay buried…
Not a great book for real locations but it’s great for psychological torment and if you are in Devon and see some Russian dolls in a shop, they will put a fear to end all fears in your heart.
Simonsbridge is fictional but sounds like a nice little village where the man who lost his girlfriend when she disappeared from the side of the road in France now lives with her sister. They used to live in St Mary’s where he still has a house and where neighbour Thomas Winter is just the curious and nosy old man you don’t need when trying to escape your past.
There is a sense of claustrophobia and twitching curtains in both of these places as the characters try to escape the past but then it confronts them so they have to face up to it whether they want to or not. The villages close in on themselves and reduced in size. Is everyone watching them?
